I am a woman and I am a feminist. This means I work for social justice. The
freedom of women from forced prostitution. I fight for the abolishment of
forced marriages that according to thegirleffect.org currently traps 37,000
young females aged 10-15 everyday to a life of rape, slavery, early mother

female supremacy. However, this minority of people are masking what real

encouraging female empowerment by altering the way the world perceives
