Quotes

edit
  • I've tried to find out why children, especially girls, are not as educated in Africa and other developing countries and one thing I noticed is culture. More value is placed on boys than girls, and there's this belief that the girl's name would change when she gets married, so there is no need to give them resources that are already little.
