It is important to constantly recognize the various ways in which we can encourage adolescent girls to speak up more and not be afraid to let their voices be heard!
We need to remind girls of how their voices matter and how their contribution to the conversation matters!

This is Nargis Sadat. She is a women’s rights protester in Afghanistan.
She was ARRESTED by the Taliban yesterday for protesting against their restrictions on womens rights.
The right to peaceful protest is a basic human right. Speak up & call on her immediate release 📣

The whole educational system needs decolonization. Our minds need decolonization.
We attribute being smart and intelligent to one’s ability to speak fluent English - the dynamics and complexities that our educational system is faced with is incredibly abhorrent.

As an individual who does community development work with @GCLAFRICA and other organizations, this conversation about “BECE”, grades, lazy students etc is pretty funny.
Most of us sit in Accra, buy data come on twitter and type whatever.

The battles over women’s bodies can be won only by a revolution of the mind. Too often women are scolded for daring to bring up “identity politics,” and are urged to lay aside “women’s rights” for the larger goal of solidarity or fidelity to the revolution.

Unless we draw the connection between the misogyny of the state and of the street, and unless we emphasize the need for a social and sexual revolution, our political revolutions will fail.
