I see a time come, when every young girl both in the rural and urban areas will recognize they have a right, and a role to play in Nation building.
I see a time come, when every young girl will have adequate access to health facilities, services and comprehensive sexual reproductive health information including contraceptives.
I see a time come, when young women and girls in the rural areas will strike out early/child marriage from their cultural practice.
I see a time come, when every young girl will have COMPULSORY ACCESS TO BASIC EDUCATION.
I see a time come, when all forms of violence against females will be reduced to the barest minimum.
I see a time come, when unsafe abortion will not be an option for young girls.
I see a time come, when cultural practice like Female Genital Mutilation will no longer be practiced.
I see a time come, when women will be given a 100% opportunity to participate.
I see a time come, when socio-cultural factors which make discrimination and stigmatization against girls for various reason be made punishable to offenders by the law.
I see a time come, when all these will come to pass.
This is my dream for all girls.
