The stories we listened to made us bleed inside, the genital
wounds we later had to help nurse evoked us, the long distances we travelled
every day and night to educate girls on their rights made us strong, the
songs of joy and sorrow the girls sang made us more passionate, everything
to do with girlhood and the fact that we were there for the girls pushed
us to do even more and more from the heart, soul, mind and all. The fact
that we finally claimed the girls` spaces where the girls now live and develop
free of violence makes it imperative that we share the great tidings. (GCN
