Growing up in Uganda, many girls face challenges. For example, girls will leave school because of menstruation. In homes, there are challenges because of gender. At home girls have to do the domestic work, they don’t have to go to school. They just (get told they) need to be married and do housework, and that affects their education. It hurts me so much when I see an African girl suffering that much.
I never knew anything about gender. I was pushed back in my family, I wasn’t participating in family decisions. I was shy, I never had self confidence. Engaging in technology has changed my life.
I wish every child would have a voice. Many kids are not listened to, are not respected. I would love girls to come and speak up.
