…make sure you speak up in favour of a girl’s right to life.
Across the globe, girls are being killed off at an alarming rate, only because they are girls. This includes infanticide but also abortion.
Because this includes abortion, we tend to hear not-so-much about it.
Getting more politically incorrect, we then don’t hear about the coerced abortions of girls.
Normally, missing women results in calls for more attention, parliamentary committees, general outrage. But not when the girls are missing due to abortion.
On October 11, International Day of the Girl, make sure you remember all girls. Those who were denied education, those who were forced into early marriages, those who were denied life. I will also be remembering the hypocrisy of the United Nations for having a special day honouring girls, whilst simultaneously ignoring millions of missing women the globe over.
