The SDGs and the GIRLs fancy words you may say and its indeed fancy for sure BUT ....only "GIRLs" including girls can transform our world through personalizing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Who is a GIRL? We are all potential GIRLs if we resolve to be great, innovative and resourceful in our approach to leadership.
Are women GIRLs? Yes, they are but currently we are yet to attain the 35% affirmative action for women in politics.
Members of CREHOP Consortium, a group of 6 Not- -for profit organization conducted a problem analysis on women's political participation in Warri, Delta- Nigeria.
To promote gender equality under SDG 5, a group of 6 think-tanks met to discuss the challenges and unseen hindrances women face in political settings. Some of the challenges include low self esteem, misrepresentation of religious texts and lack of political will among others. In proffering solutions, women and girls are advised to be in the drivers seat in creating the needed disruption for sustainable changes in knowledge, attitude, behavior and contexts that impedes political empowerment of women.
We have a situation at hand and the time to ACT is NOW. Be a GIRL today.
Join the "Be a GIRL" Campaign.

Take up an agenda from the Global goals and breathe life into it.
With love from
SDGs and You
