FIRST Day of the Girl

Today is it! It's the first Day of the Girl. Today is dedicated to all the girls in this world. Unfortunately, not every girl gets the same opportunities as men do. As a girl, even in America, we struggle to be treated as equal. Today is the day that we need to publicize the unfair treatment we receive. Some girls are denied education, others are denied a voice. This needs to stop. Now. For the longest time men have ruled this earth and for no reason at all. Yes, today is Day of the Girl. But every day is Day of the Girl in my book. Every day we need to stand up, whether is be a remark someone makes about a woman's "job" or a sexist act, stand up. "Alone we are weak, together we are unstoppable." This is so true. If we all stand up, no matter what age, sex, nationality, we can stop this unequal treatment of women across the globe. Today in Choir class, we started a new song. It's about a woman that stands up against the traditions of her culture because it does not treat women right. How perfect for Day of the Girl. So, even if you didn't change the world on this day, that doesn't mean you can't help. Anything you do will bring this world towards equality and peace. Happy Day of the Girl, as many have said, it's a great day to be a girl.
