The world as a global village is made up of about 6 billion people and young people make up more than half of that population. Young people especially women are faced with a lot of challenges, such as economic, religious, academic, social and sexual problems.
Every day the sexuality of women and young girls all over the world is being threatened in various ways. Some of the problems include Early Marriage, Unsafe Abortion, Rape, Lack of Girl Child Education, Gender Inequality, Poverty, HIV/AIDS, etc and these makes them the most vulnerable because they are the most affected and infected hence posing a great component of economic crisis.
The importance of every individual in social and economic development cannot be overemphasized as it takes the collective effort of every one to change the society. This justifies the point that young people irrespective of their gender should be allowed to participate in the formulation and implementation of policies especially as it relates to their sexual reproductive health and rights.
Women are like a great spot of diamond waiting to be discovered, explored and mined, but how can these be achieved in the nearest future? It is by identifying the fact that anything that affects the woman affects the nations and by addressing those issues the world and their communities would record tremendous progress.
The theme for this year, “Every one counts” stresses the need for meaningful involvement of women and girls in global issues as it relates to their lives, sexuality and that of others.
Women are mothers, let them care for the world; as caring is one of their numerous specialties. A great scientist Albert szent-gyorgyi once said: What drives life is thus a little electric current set up by sunshine.“ Therefore, let us invest in women and Stop gender inequality because they (women) are the little electric current needed to drive the world to progress.
