Girls Not Brides | Support Saturday

Hello Everyone! So I came across this petition and decided to look more into it. The petition's goal is to raise awareness against child marriage. It is primarily protects young girls from child marriage and FGM in the UK, but is based in OVER 80 COUNTRIES. I really think that this issue needs world wide attention. It is time we stop this practice. Change doesn't happen unless people speak out and bring attention to it. Marrying child not only deprives them of a childhood, but of basic needs... they become dependent and dis-empowered. Not to mention pregnancy which comes with terrible risks that put the lives of the mother and the baby in jeopardy. So I hope you all decide to sign this petition!

Hello everyone!      Today, I want to invite you all to stand with Bystander Revolution & Tarte Cosmetics in order to raise awareness against cyber-bullying. Cyber-bullying is something that everyone should know is simply wrong to do. Why bully someone, even online? Words truly damage people and with so many young kids online... the effects can be terrible. ''#KissAndMakeup'' is a trend designed to start a more positive online culture.      All you do is post a photo of yourself with a kiss mark (on your hand) covering your lips, then you compliment and tag a few people. I think this is a lovely way to just put out good vibes. I do remind you that this is for EVERYONE not simply women. Although, I highly support the concept of us women sticking together and supporting each other instead of dragging each other down. On that note, I hope you all decide to support this great cause. Thanks so much for reading.
