"It is necessary for people to develop empathy, respect and kindness, this is important for our progress as a society." says 22-year-old María Belén who has a dream of contributing to children's development 💪🏾
Access to clean water, safe toilets and handwashing with soap can transform the lives of children and adolescent girls. Everybody has the right to access safe, clean and sanitary water 💧#WorldWaterDay
Girls’ rights can’t be achieved unless racism is overcome. Racial justice and gender justice for girls are inextricably linked and one cannot exist without the other 💪🏾 #FightRacism
“I feel that as an activist, it is my duty to do everything I can to ensure the rights of girls are not violated. Every day when I wake up, I say to myself that I can change the world. I ask myself, what can I do for other people today? Perhaps I can have a conversation that will change someone’s life.”
18-year-old Denise and her fellow girl activists are paving the way for change in their community 💪🏾
