Ik kan niet geloven dat dit de realiteit van zo veel meisjes is. Breekt mijn hart.

nawi: dear future me, i am guilty. i am guilty of being born a girl.

*

nawi: mum was wrong. dreams don't change, they die.

*

choiceless choice. slow death. life in your own hands, the simplest, most basic, wish.

the pervasive insidiousness of patriarchy and misogyny. its every influence. how it chokes. it throttles.

heartbreaking film. heartbreaking reality. 640 million child brides... 640 million girls and women who have lost any chance at a life, a future...

adding to:

on: siblings
