It may take 200 years to reap change, but the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step in the right direction. The proof is out there. And, in the end, if this or any similar campaign helps one - only one - girl out there, it will have been worth it. Sincerely, Betina Jim;

That's just a fact of life. In Muslim nations, the girl/woman is treated with less respect than the family's herd of camels. I applaud you for your idea, but the men will never stoop to do the "woman's work" so I believe you will run into a wall with this campaign. Sorry to rain on your parade.
