Girl – Neglect + Protect = Greater Affect on ‘The Girl Effect’

/DR

I won’t bombard you with more ‘etc’ ending words. However, I would like to resurrect an organization that yearns to globally advance the social and economical dynamics of indigent girls. Its fundamental

purpose thrives on instigating, investing in, and providing resources for indigent girls to steer the wheel of wisdom, and embark on a brighter journey. Wonderful. Having said that, I have gleaned

from its exhibition in London, their display did not

correspond with the organization’s initial theme; girls cultivating into zealous and respected women. For starters, they broadcasted a short documentary based in London of young girls feeling violated owed to degradation initiated by men. Bizarrely, none of the victims raised an issue of any of the traumatic incidents. Now, I say ‘bizarrely’ derived from the roots of my culture which attires women in a one-piece demure dress. It is scarcely bizarre when you live in a society that has accustomed to such ignoble demeanour.
Directly after addressing this demotic and detrimental default in society, they ludicrously introduce on stage, to advocate their ‘girl effect’ movement, an active promoter of all that is not propriety. Talk about ‘women’s logic’. Jennifer Lopez, aside from her frivolous accomplishments, Jenny from the block, influences girls to mirror her outré deportment; thus allowing men to demean women.

Girls, we should not point fingers at those who are ‘judgemental’, and impose ideologies that suit the likes of us, because that in itself is judgemental. One only has control of themselves, to change their own perception, and to protect themselves in the conditions they live in. To put in simple terms, each of us is responsible for our self. We would be ignorant to earnestly believe we can conduct ourselves, in the way we act and dress, a certain way, and still expect to be treated another way. A wise man once said “…That would be like me, Dave Chappelle the comedian, walking around the streets dressed in a cop’s uniform.” And when a stranger seeks help from the law-abiding officer he seems to be, Dave says “Just because I am dressed this way, does not make me a police officer.”
