We will teach girls’ rights

“In Brazil, usually boys’ rights are respected more than girls’.

We girls need to fight to make society recognise that we too have our rights. In 2014, my friends and I will be visiting the schools in our area to raise awareness of girls’ rights. We would like to make other children aware of how the rights of girls make a difference in our lives.”
