I now pray for girls.
I pray for one of the 200 million missing girls in the world today. The souls of those killed in today’s modern genocide or gendercide. Today, India and China abort or kill more female foetuses and babies than the total number of girls born in America.
An entire gender in various countries is being exterminated. Strangled, choked, tossed, dumped, aborted, abandoned, drowned and tortured. The gendercide is the modern day holocaust yet we have failed to act, instead we turn a blind eye to established countries decision to treat girls as sick cattle.
“It’s a girl” has been branded by the movie sharing the same name as the three deadliest words in the world.
Woman are the ones that complete 66% of the world’s work and in developing worlds they do 60-80% of the farming. Girls, as Beyonce said to a beat, run the world....yet only if given the chance to let their heart beat.
I pray for the castoff girls. The ones that gasped for air only to have it cut off by their own family. The ones seen only as a dowry burden or a shame on the family name.
Give me girls. Give me the forgotten girls.
A baby girl is not a problem. She is not a burden. She is a hope for tomorrow.
