We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings in the way that boys are”  – Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, We Should All Be Feminists

24. “If you think that educating your girl is enough for her to tackle the boundaries of tradition, then you are wrong. You have to ensure that not only do you empower her with education, but also make her strong enough to resist the evils of societal pressure under which she often buckles.
