The Right of Women, The Strength of Women 1

 Do you remember Leymah Gbowee, who is a peace activist from Liberia as well as a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, has spoken at TED about her transformed life and wretched life of African girls. Let's have a look at her speech :
Unlock the intelligence, passion, greatness of girls


 The biggest issue in Africa is sexual abuse, and according to her the rate of teen pregnancy in Liberia is 30 percent. Those girls would be naturally apart from school, the environment and chances of being educated.

Touching thing for me during i watched the video clip was tearful voice of Gbowee, which sounds like she's about to cry. I could feel her sincerity and her heart full of mercy and grief. The stories she is telling was sad and infuriating indeed, but also encouraging and hopeful at the same time. Hope there appears more brave girl who will fight for other 'sisters' as well as for herself. Thanks to Leymah again. I really like her :*
