@girlsfoundation outreach to enlighten ladies; my review
I chose to review this particular project because as a lady, it pains me a lot to see that in this present age and time, females are still sometimes bound by stereotypical sentiments. Here's the contest link
@girlsfoundation, headed by @faetee made a visit to a school on the 13th day of June, 2018. Although their appointment was for 11am, they got there as early as 10:15am to start making preparations for the program. They had an interesting talk about steemit with the teachers of the school who had been notified by the principal before the program started.
By 10:50am the students were ready to learn from @girlsfoundation (this punctuality is a good sign I must say), the program was started at 11am prompt (keeping to time is discipline, yes).
The agenda for the program is as follows;
¶ Briefing the attendees about the foundation and its goals.
¶ Lectures
¶ Questions and answers session
¶ Gift session
¶ Pictures session
@faetee gave the talk about the norms and values of females after introducing girls foundation to them.
@meemee took over from her and told the students a short story after which she rounded up the talk.
The questions and answers session was handled by @faetee, @meemee and @crystalll. The winners of the session were presented with gifts by @faetee assisted by @meemee. The winners were gifted new school uniforms and they took pictures and videos with the team. The winners also made a video shout out to the girls foundation. The camera was handled by @crystalll
However, like every good thing, the girls foundation had to leave, so, they appreciated the principal and members of staff for their hospitality and said their goodbyes.
About girls foundation
The girls foundation is a project set up to enlighten young ladies of their norms and value, advocate for the girl-child, encourage and support them with the little we can.We believe the girl-child can bring about change in our society. Women are essential to the nation because they take care of its children, the children are the future leaders of the nation, if you are familiar with the bible you must have heard of this verse “train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he won‟t depart from it”.Girls foundation was founded by a group of selfless ladies, it is a non�governmental organization an d believes in decentralization.
VISION:-
To enlighten youths of their purpose in life. We believe once you know the truth and purpose of your existence you are free, the journey to success and failure now lies in your hands.
Rape free society- Rape is a sexual assault carried out against a person forcefully. The rate at which girls are being raped these days is alarming, we are also humans and we deserve respect. Most rape victims suffer from trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder, serious injuries and in some cases pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection.
Fight against domestic violence- it is also known as intimate partner violence, domestic abuse or family violence ; it's a form of violence committed in a domestic or family setting, such as in marriage or cohabitation. It is called intimate partner violence when committed by spouse and called family violence when it involves the kids, parents or elders. Domestic violence has several effects on human that's is why girls foundation is picking it up. Effects of domestic violence includes :
1.) Physical effect: This involves bruises round the victim, broken wrists, shortness of breath etc.
2.) Mental effect: This involves PTSD (post-traumatic stress),
pressing, drug abuse, suicidal thoughts etc.
3.) Emotional effect: This involves feeling unworthy, hopeless and not motivated etc.
4.)It affects the development of the kids and they suffer from depression, anxiety, fear etcDomestic violence always produces an international cycles of violence. Funny, only few people see themselves as being abused; considering it as family matter.
Girl education: Some people still believe that training a female child is a waste of time and money 'cause they feel she'd still end up in the kitchen, well sorry to disappoint you but ladies can do much more than just being house wives, lots of educated women are doing fine in our society today. Every child deserves equal right to education.We don't think anyone should be treated differently because of their gender, we are all one and it's high time we realized that.
CONCLUSION:-
The primary aim of the girls foundation is to enlighten youths and increase the awareness of the steem blockchain and steemit. Giving girls the ability to create wealth with their writing skills, without waiting for the government intervention.
