What does life as a woman or girl look like in your country / city / town / village? Any issues / challenges / exciting milestones? I see a lot of women in unhappy marriages simply because they rely on their husband's wealth. I don't blame them, most of these women are good mothers who will do anything for their children even if it means staying in a marriage that they are unhappy in. A lot of other women are raising their children alone as a result of divorce, or being abandoned by their husbands - these women are looked down upon. The life of women in my country requires strength, love and perseverance. Women and girls in my country are working hard to change the status quo, to get women educated, working and starting their own businesses. We have a long way to go, but hopefully we will get there.
How have the women and girls around you helped you to get to where you are today? I've been raised solely by women; women who work for themselves and don't rely on any thing from anyone. This has allowed me to see a woman as someone who works hard to provide for herself and her family, with or without assistance. I think this has allowed me to be a more independent person and be able to speak where I see injustice.
