Girl Effect “The Girl Declaration”

The Girl Declaration I was not put on this Earth to be invisible. I was not born to be denied. I was not given life only to belong to someone else. I belong to me I have a voice and I will use it. I have dreams unforgettable I have a name and it is not anonymous or insignificant or unworthy or waiting any more to be called. Some day, they will say this was the moment when the world woke up to my potential this is the moment I was allowed to be astonishing This is the moment when my rising no longer scares you This is the moment when being a girl became my strength my sanctuary not my pain This is the moment when the world sees that I am held back by every problem and I am key to all solutions This is the moment when a girl and a girl and a girl and 250 million other girls say with voices loud that this is our moment this is my moment. this, yes this is the moment
