First and foremost, I am so overwhelmed as a president of Africam Young Adult(AYA) to be called upon at this day of 7/13/16 at the United Nations conference to speak on behalf of African countries on the topic of family and gender violence:women and girls.
Women from the medieval ages were denied from so many opportunities and their voices were not being considered in a society.They were not allowed to hold any position and “either were they allowed to contribute in any aspect of life. There is a very profound statement made in the book “The book of the city of ladies”.“Didn't you yourself create woman, especially and then endow her with all the qualities that you wish her to have ? How could you possibly have made a mistake in anything ?” …show more content…
The life of a family living in Ghana is quite different as compared to the one in the United States, at the same time, girls in their teens to young adults will have a different life in two different places. Politically there are so many factors when putting in place, there is the possibility of having a fruitful life of a child or a girl trained or raised in the United States as compared to Ghana. At the same time within the borders of the United States, a girl raised in Minnesota will have an entirely different life as compared to a girl of the same age raised in Harlem. A careful study of the Getting Played: African American Girls, Urban Inequality, and Gendered Violence have helped me understand what women and girls go through alot of victimization as they grow.

This situation has turned out to be a habit of men in general which is leading to a cycle of violence that has really affected the life of women, girls and families in their entire life.

Sexual victimization has become a constant violence in certain neighborhoods which is very difficult to eradicate. Beating of women and girls have become a norm in a certain race where they see women violence as normal . Drug abuse, selling of drugs, alcoholism has become a norm to a certain race where they don’t value the effect that will come upon them as a result of using those dangerous drugs. “Youth congregates on the streets and in the parks, and they cruise around in cars or on foot, socializing and play music. In some cases, they sell drugs, fight, and defend the neighborhood or gang territories.”
