What does life as a woman or girl look like in your country/city/town/village? Any issues/challenges/milestones?

It's so depressing that girls are always pointed fingers at... Apparently, when a man sleeps around its totally fine... It even earns him some sort of praises. It's quite the opposite when a girl portrays this behavior. She gets dirty remarks and insults thrown her way. It's so unbearable yet stupid.. .two people committing the same act yet one looks cool at it while the other is disrespected! This is absurd, both sides are supposed to be held responsible for the things they do. Society needs change in views and behavior.

What would you like the world to know about YOU? What life experience, challenge or achievement do you want to share?

I am just a simple teenager who notices a lot of unrighteous acts against women that men tend to be invulnerable from. This  is planet Earth with a population composed of both male and female. We both play huge roles in our society.... It's about time for people to start realizing that there are some crazy stereotypes that should be abandoned.

What are you most passionate about and what are you doing with that passion?

I am passionate about books. I read a lot of stories and I have attempted to write down some of my own ideas.

Complete this sentence: "To be a girl or woman today, is to be..."

Active and confident!
