Why Men Are Complaining About Girl Up Initiatives

By Lawanda Burch


Girl up is a term that is used by different organizations that are mainly striving to empower women. The attention of almost all activists is now shifted to females to the extent that boys are the ones that are being neglected. It is saddening that men are now being battered in some developing countries and there is no one to speak out for them. However, this time is for females to enrich themselves intellectually, morally and economically.

The slogan in question is given as the name of a variety of foundations. An example is the Girl Up Foundation Priyanka. It if focused mainly on the education of women in the male dominated society. The safety of men depends on the education of the female child. One would ask why and one would say so. This is because women support the men using their education too.

The United Nations also runs a foundation called named after the same slogan. This foundation is also aimed to empower the women in a society. Most women who have been helped through this system are expected to show their gratitude through helping other girls that are similar to them circumstantially. This spreads to the whole world but the core being the US.

Girls in this foundation have the privilege of education. The female children also enjoy the health facilities provided to them. This is useful since with poor health then the students would not be able to study well and thus they would not strive in their education. Success always begins with a healthy child.

The safety of women is also taken care of by the foundation. Women are vulnerable and therefore, many people take advantage, and go on to manhandle them. This comes from the men around them, step parents too do not fail to torture them, and even the security forces supposed to protect them ironically does the opposite. Such people should therefore be kept away from these young girls to avoid more pain to the female child.

Many people say that the youth are the next generation leaders. But hey, who will be the leaders if it is only boys that are concentrated with. There is a saying that "behind every successful man there is a woman" and therefore for us to even have male leaders, then there must be strong women as well to make their leadership successful. Thus the UN Foundation GU ensures that women too are positioned as the next generation leaders.

For every foundation to be successful, then there must also be sufficient funds. The UN Foundation Girl Up raises their funds through donations of a few dollars, normally less than ten, or more, which they refer to as a high five given to the girls in this foundation. This portrays creativity on their part too.

There is also the Girl Up NOLA. It works with the aim to "lift female children to the next heights". There is a lady, Cheryl Landrieu who started the organization. Its origin is New Orleans and the female children between grade 5 to grade 12 are the ones that mainly benefit-the most vulnerable group. Therefore the term Girl Up just as its name suggests, is used by organizations to nature women at a tender age.
