In my motherland,
When a boy is born
Father feels blessed
When a girl is born
Mother is oppressed.
From the beginning…
A girl is viewed as a burden
She’s deprived of education
Married off soon to her in laws
That becomes her final destination.
Father fears about her high cost marriage
All thanks to the dowry system (giving bride price)
That would leave him in debt and nearly perished.
This young teenager,
is handed to a stranger
She is beaten and abused,
By her in-laws and spouse.
She is treated like a maid
Doing all the cooking and housework
That no one will appreciate.
The great father who felt his trouble was over
By getting rid of his daughter
He never thought of
How long can her tiny body stand the torture?
Perhaps a few months or years?
Then, she would decide to put an end to her misery
But where could she go?
The door of her parent’s house is shut for her
Once married, she’s perceived a stranger
Now she belongs nowhere.
Stripped of her rights
Neglected by her family
Battered by her in laws
She sees no option but to end her life.
This is a tale of those young girls
Whose fate is written by the patriarchal society
When they’re born into this world.

Greetings from Carolina! I’m bored to death at work so I decided to check out your site on my iphone during lunch break. I love the information you provide here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m amazed at how fast your blog loaded on my mobile .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow, good blog!
Howdy are using WordPress for your blog platform? I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and set up my own. Do you need any html coding expertise to make your own blog? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Incredible! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a entirely different topic but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Superb choice of colors!
Do you mind if I quote a few of your posts as long as I provide credit and sources back to your website? My blog site is in the very same area of interest as yours and my visitors would definitely benefit from a lot of the information you present here. Please let me know if this okay with you. Regards!
Howdy! This post could not be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my good old room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this write-up to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!
When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three e-mails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Bless you!
Hmm it seems like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any tips for rookie blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.

“di appassionati sportivi che dal 1973, anno della prima Strabergamo, si sono ritrovati a correre o passeggiare per le vie della città alta e bassa.”
“looks certain to stay despite interest from BarcelonaJuventus wing-back Kwadwo Asamoah has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge this summer, although the Italians are keen to keep him in Turin.”
Hello! It seems as though we both have a passion for the same thing. Your blog, “%BLOGTITLE%” and mine are very similar. Have you ever considered writing a guest post for a related blog? It will definitely help gain publicity to your blog (my site recieves a lot of visitors). If you happen to be interested, e-mail me at: %EMAIL%. Many thanks
Howdy just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the images aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same outcome.
Hmm is anyone else experiencing problems with the images on this blog loading? I’m trying to figure out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Hey there! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my good old room mate! He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this page to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!
First off I want to say excellent blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing. I have had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there. I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips? Kudos!
Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything. Nevertheless just imagine if you added some great photos or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this blog could certainly be one of the best in its field. Great blog!
Thanks for the blog article.Really looking forward to read more. Really Great.
I just want to mention I’m new to blogging and seriously loved you’re page. Almost certainly I’m likely to bookmark your blog . You really come with excellent well written articles. Appreciate it for sharing your website.
