Every 11th of July, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) will celebrate (or rather say creating awareness) World Population Day. This year's theme: Fight Poverty, Educate Girls.
Why do we need to educate girls to fight poverty? For girls to get education in certain part of the world, it is normally prohibited or to be known as waste of money. In those very conservative mind, they think girls should stay at home and help out on the house chores, handcraft works, etc. In other words, Gender equality is what we are seeking now. Even though female might be generally a little bit lack in physically strength, their mind and will power are very strong.
Today, I was with my client and was talking about some political issue in our neighboring country, and realized that Poverty is the source of Prostitution issue. If we can give equal treatment to girls around the world, educate them, I am very sure we can have more ladies, who can contribute a lot of strength to our global community.
