I’ve  just been looking through the various comments posted to becauseiamagirl.ca and came across one I thought should be shared. This is from Karla in Winnipeg. Thank you for the inspirational words !

Please read below:

“I am from Winnipeg and I was home this evening reading the newspaper when I came across the article about your documentary. I immediately went to the website to find out more.  I just wanted to tell you that I am moved to tears with your idea and the stories of the young girls.  I have a 20 year old daughter who I have raised with a great deal of  help from my family and I know that she has grown up with a social conscience and I give her complete credit for being such a sensitive individual.  I am more than pleased to see and hear the ideas of young women and that their contributions and compassion will help to change our world.  I want to say thank you again because I am a girl.”
