Every young girl.



Before ever becoming a full grown woman, you first become a girl. A girl is not just about possessing the genetic features of a woman, but going through her experience. What do I mean? Every young female between the ages of 12-about 19 and 20 go through a growth process (puberty). During this period, a lot goes on with the girl child that places her as an endangered specie in the society. Most often, it is only when the typical woman has grown past that stage that she is able to stand for her self and speak up to what's right! We women keep struggling and fighting to build a society save for the girl child but I wonder how many percent actually pay keen attention to 'teen girls'?? The day I developed interest in the teenage girl, that was the moment I realised that a lot about women can be fixed. The problem has always been that most often we are always after time. That is to say, girls get raped, are molested and maltreated before action is taken, intended to heal, which never really erases the scars. I am  Precious Natang of Cameroon, bringing a new model of addressing women's crises by helping children handle/survive teenage hood. I believe if girls are empowered at their very tender ages, we will in the next 5-10years give room for greater changes than presently. The question i always ask is why are there always opportunities but when checking the age limit especially in Africa, we hear of "18 and above??" What becomes of the 12 and 13 who have ideas and only need guidance?? Let's create an avenue for younger girls, not just to teach them skills, and play kid games, but tell them hard truths they all need to know and have before they become adults. I desire to be the voice of a teen.My dream is to see children grow past teenage hood while fervently pursuing their dreams.Not every teen girl must suffer what others suffered. Let them integrate in the world and be bold. I believe teens too can make it. Dear mothers, sisters, aunties, leaders and world changers, your teen home might just need someone to guide and help them survive puberty. Help them do that by giving me the opportunity to work with your daughters through seminars, conferences and mentorship. I am ready to be the change and need to be supported to do so. #Transforming Teens with the Golden scepter(TG)#-that is me
