Why do I care

This is just kind of random bits of information in unedited paragraphs.

 

Why do I care?

1 out of 5 girls are married before they turn 18 and many of them have no option. Those girls married before 18 have a 50% higher chance of being abused by their partner than girls married later in life.

30% of women are sexually and/or domestically abused across the world and that is just 15 years and older. 1/8 girls and/or women are raped globally. 1 out of 8 girls have people forced on them. Some of them are kids. The same as you and me. 

4 out of 5 women feel like doctors dismiss their symptoms because they are female. Why? Because 69% of major health companies are lead by men. 75% of medical research is done on men meaning doctors know more about men than women leading to them not listening or not knowing how to help women.

More then 122 million girls do not go to school across the world due to gender stereotypes that lead to them staying home, cooking, cleaning or watching kids.

None of this is ok, we are talking about 49.6% of the global population. One of those girls has or will experience at least one of those things in their life.

  • A Mix

    My face is a mix of my parents'

    I have my dad's eyes

    And hair

    I have my moms features

    And skin tone

    But it all pulled together

    To make my face

    My face with brown hair and eyes

    Pink lips

  • My Hair and My Eyes

    My hair is brown

    It doesn't have highlights

    Or a red tint

    It doesn't shine

    In the sun

    It's just brown

    It's not long

    Or layered

    There's no light brown

    Hidden in the dark brown
