Pakistan is Missing Out

Today I heard of a girl in Pakistan who was shot because of her gender. This girl was an activist for girls rights in Pakistan. Because she was posting things on the internet about empowering girls, standing up etc. she was shot. I am fortunate to live in a country where I do not need to worry about speaking my mind and having an equal opportunity. I am lucky for that. I realize now that girls in other parts of the world are not as fortunate as I, and I want to do something about this. Girls and women have a place and a job. More so than men and if they think that they can just take those opportunities away from us they are wrong. We are important and have been since the beginning of time. It is our turn to fight and accomplish equality for all women in this world.
