Latest comments from Girls Out Loud Myanmar
I become knowledgeable about genders as well as sexual and reproductive health for participating in this GOL campaign. Also, I acknowledge that I am not alone in this struggle of facing gender barriers within the family when I hear voices of other colleagues from GOL group. So I mean, GOL brings openness and feeling sharing among the-leader-to-be. On the other hand, I assume that we really have to emphasize what our goals mean to be.
GOL opens the way of thinking concerning the gender issues manipulated in our every daily life. It keeps me the deep brainstorming of how can we achieve the SDG 5 in 2030 which is also interconnected with other goals and GOL motivates me to corporate in the sector of Gender Equality and to create the harmonize society for all people who feel any forms of Discrimination based on Gender.
I learn most of the girls are facing with gender barriers especially traditional custom. But, I feel more comfortable when I know all of my friends (GOL group) are in the same mind as we all are enthusiastic to discuss about Gender Equality and willing to get Equal among man or woman even there have some boys in the Group.
