Twelve is a magical age, where life is poised to leave childhood behind while reaching out toward the mysteries of women. Dolls sit on shelves but remain dear friends and babysitting becomes something to strive for, to feed the blossoming feminine need to nurture as well as to earn money for little dreams. Yet on September 11th, for Fawziya Abdullah Youssef (a 12-year-old who should have been a flower girl instead of a child-bride) life ended – awash in pain and blood.

The answer is yes – they do. Some change faster than others but action and speaking out do make a difference.
That’s why today’s “Why We Are Here,” is about the positive side of working to make the world a better and more equal place. There are two stories I am going to reference today, where Equality Now has helped justice prevail and the winds of change sweep far and wide.
Our first story deals with Zambia and the horrific rape of school girls by their teachers. Not for the first time, Edson Hakasenke raped one of his students by luring her to his house on the premise of collecting schoolwork. … Read more…
