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
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 :*
