EDUCATE YOUR GIRL....
EDUCATE YOUR GIRL....
SOMEWHERE IN INDIA
A girl is denied a privilege that should have been her right
Chained down by society, unable to take flight
Try as she might, she puts up a fight
JUST TO LEARN HOW TO READ AND WRITE
SOMEWHERE IN INDIA
A six year old doesn’t know she’s being wronged.
When I was six years old, when I saw my smiling brother, backpack in one hand and a little pencil case in the other. He took a little yellow bus to a place that opened his mind.
He was capable and it was worth spending money and getting him an education, the best kind.
Take my word for it, she is equally capable.
She could help out in other ways, maybe clean the house or work as a house help. That job is payable.
She is capable of so much more, just open up a door.
SOMEWHERE IN INDIA
A boy is made to think he is superior just because a girl was never given an opportunity
When I was 15 I realised that he is a boy, He is strong and intelligent and can earn money.
I can too what I want. I received a good education and so am capable of living a better life
He will get a good job while I put all my work into cleaning households or being a good wife
Is this what you want, to waste her intelligence on useless things just because we didn’t give her a chance?
SOMEWHERE IN INDIA
A girl is denied her right to make a decision.
I was married at 22 to some boy I didn’t know
I was given admission in a college and I could see just how far I would go,
I was too much of a burden to bear, and my parents had no money to spare
My education was looked after with utmost devotion and care
Do you really think she couldn’t do better
SHE COULD GO TO LENGTHS YOU COULDN’T MEASURE
SOMEWHERE IN INDIA
A girl is not even given a chance
It was a girl, so we decided to abandon the child
But when a boy was born, you should’ve seen how they smiled
I deserved a chance didn’t I?
SOMEWHERE IN INDIA
We should build up her confidence, she’s fought a long war
You’re just as good as me, if not more
You are a blessing in disguise
I am capable and only you can tell me otherwise.
BUT EVEN THEN
I might not chose to believe you
SUPPORT GIRLS EDUCATION
SAVE NOT ONLY A CHILD, BUT AN ENTIRE NATION.
