Hello steemians
I want to officially introduce GIRLSFOUNDATION, as the name implies it's a foundation created to teach girls their worth and rights and also promote steemit.
Girlsfoundation is a Nigeria based project and the main aim of the foundation is to advocate for girls, to teach and encourage them and also to support them financially with the little we can.
WHAT WE INTEND DOING
- Every week, we'd pick random girls to assist with steem powered gift (Going to market places, scouting the streets and helping the lucky girl financially)
Organising seminars to enlighten ladies of their purpose, power and rights.
Visiting schools and orphanage homes from time to time to enlighten them on their rights and also provide gifts.
I believe that a girl can bring about change in the society, every girl will grow up to be a mother someday and mothers are mostly the ones at home with the children, if the mother is well enlightened, she would transfer the same norms and values to the children.
The sole aim of this foundation is to fight for girls right, we deserve equal rights and respect.
- DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: it is also known as intimate partner violence, domestic abuse or family violence ; it's a form of violence committed in a domestic or family setting, such as in marriage or cohabitation.
It is called intimate partner violence when committed by spouse and
Called family violence when it involves the kids, parents or elders.
Domestic violence has several effects on human that's is why girls foundation is picking it up. Effects of domestic violence includes :
Physical effect: This involves bruises round the victim, broken wrists, shortness of breath etc.
Mental effect: This involves PTSD (post-traumatic stress), pressing, drug abuse, suicidal thoughts etc.
Emotional effect: This involves feeling unworthy, hopeless and not motivated etc.
It affects the development of the kids and they suffer from depression, anxiety, fear etc
Domestic violence always produces an international cycles of violence. And so funny only few people see themselves as being abused; considering it as family matter.
RAPE : Rape is a sexual assault carried out against a person forcefully. The rate at which girls are being raped these days is alarming, we are also humans and we deserve respect. Most rape victims suffer from trauma and post traumatic stress disorder, serious injuries and in some cases pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection.
GIRL EDUCATION: Some people still believe that training a female child is a waste of time and money 'cause they feel she'd still end up in the kitchen, well sorry to disappoint you but ladies can do much more than just being house wives, lots of educated women are doing fine in our society today. Every child deserves equal right to education.
I don't think anyone should be treated differently because of their gender, we are all one and it's high time we realized that.
