Girlpower

A13-year-old girl in Nigeria gets 100 stickcanes because she is unmarried and pregnant, and 80 extra stickcanes because she doesn't know which of the three married men who have raped her, is the father of the child. In the name of Allah! (read her story)

Also the Catholic Church executes death sentences

In Latin America, millions of girls end literally in the gutter because they are unmarried and pregnant. One of the biggest causes of the increase in the number of street children and child prostitutes, in Rio de Janeiro for example, is the ban on the use of contraceptives, led by an elderly Polish bachelor. In the name of God! In Africa the same Pope with the same ban endangers entire countries of extinction. In large parts of Africa already 30% to 40% of the girls have Aids. With condoms those girls (and therefore their countries) had a future, and their babies didn't have to die in their arms from Aids.

Two hundred girls beheaded

In Baghdad and Mosul (Iraq) two hundred girls and young women were beheaded last year. Most were raped as a young girl by older men, which made them no longer suitable for marriage. Disowned by their fathers for that reason, there is nothing else fort hem than prostitution to survive. But because prostitution is forbidden in islam, they are sentenced to death to set an example. Executed by the same religious men who first raped, then disowned, and afterwards had abused them. Such a beheading is executed in front of the house of the person sentenced to death. At the beheading a few imams (priests) and the people from the neighborhood itself are present. After the execution the attendees must applaud and shout 'Allah is great'. The head of the victim will be hanged on the wall of the victims house.

Millions of girls are mutilated

Worldwide, every year millions of very young girls are "circumcised". This means that their clitoris is cut away, of course, without anesthesia and often blunt and dirty razors. The idea is that girls will never enjoy sex, and therefore will never be unfaithful to their future husbands. Often even their vagina is sewn shut. Their future husband by this time will know for certain that "his property is still intact." Imagine what this means, every time you urinate, or when you start to menstruate.

The brethren on the rise

In America, under the pressure from fanatical Protestants, the hard-won right to abortion is now in jeopardy under President Bush. Even if the pregnancy is a result from rape, or clearly will destroy the future of the girl the brethren will deny her that right. The same brethren in the Netherlands wants to exclude women from politics. Women may not longer be members of the Political Reformed Party, a political party which for many years women have been members of.

Sharia in the Netherlands

Even in the Netherlands, the situation of girls is increasingly threatened by religious fanatics. Imam Ahmed Akgündüz, the rector of the Islamic University in Rotterdam, said a few months ago that Muslim men in the Netherlands are entitled to hit their female relatives (including sisters and daughters).

He also defended the principle that parents of daughters can only inherit half as much as parents of sons. Two positions completely at odds with Dutch law.

Girlpower

There used to be "women's" lib that fought for equal rights for women.

Now it's time for "girlpower". Because girls are the future of society.
