The Term Girl Up Causing Boy Child Negligence

By Lawanda Burch


Girl empowerment organizations are the ones that choose to use the term "Girl up". Boys currently feel neglected since all the activists are concentrating with the other gender, which is the female. It raises an alarm that men, in some countries of the third world, are being beaten by women and totally no one is coming to their rescue. Anyway, it is about the female child for now.

There are different organizations that use this slogan. One of them is the Girl Up Youth Campaign Priyanka. This organization based in Priyanka and mainly works to educate girls. When a woman is educated, then all men are safe. This is because women are mainly the ones that empower the men in their lives.

The UN is not left behind and also has a Girl Up Foundation. The foundation is for the female child empowerment too.

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.

The other foundation with a reference to this slogan is the Girl Up NOLA Foundation that strives to "lift girls to the next heights". It is a product of Cheryl Landrieu. It helps the girls in New Orleans who are between the 5th grade and the 12th grade. The most vulnerable female children are usually of this age.
