‘Dear Daddy, When I Grow Up, Boys In My Class Would Call Me A Whore’

That headline caught your attention, didn’t it? But for a lot of girls, this is the kind of attention they get but don’t deserve. For every little girl, her father is a superhero. The very first, and the most important male influence in her life, every father-daughter relationship is an endearing one. A girl feels safest in her Daddy’s arms, turning to him for help with everything in her life. He is her protector through her years of growing up, and every father wants to form a protective shield around his little darling to prevent the big bad world from getting to her. But the big bad world does catch up, there’s no escaping it. This is a powerful video message from an unborn girl child to her father, asking him for a favour. To protect her from a society where every girl has to endure harassment everyday through seemingly harmless jokes, gestures and overt actions. She wants him to protect her from the violence society perpetrates on her, for being just her, a girl. “I will be born a girl. Please do everything you can so that won’t stay the greatest danger of all”, she appeals to her Daddy. Watch this powerful video here:
