Yes, I'm happy again!!
I've been kind a down since I came back from Tanzania, but now, somehow, I'm acctually quite happy! I'm travelling around the country having presentations about my stay in Tanzania and I'm enjoying it!! I still miss tanzania like crazy, and I want to go back as soon as I can. But somehow, I'm happy!

One of my younger brothers in Tanzania playing with soap bobles. They had never seen it before and loved it!!
WOMEN'S DAY!!!
I'm a feminist..
because women are suppressed by men all over the world.
because young girls are being circumcised.
because girls and women are still going through arranged marriages that they don't want to go through.
because I feel ugly with hair on my legs.
and because my brother doesn't.
because the Nigerians prostitutes in Oslo don't get to keep the money they earn..
because women earn less money than men.
because women so many places are still supposed to stay at home and take care of her husband and her children.
because almost every celebrity is as skinny as a stick.
because I feel that I need to be more skinny and more beautiful.
because the police tells women and girls that it is dangerous to walk home alone when it is dark outside.
because Hilary Clinton is not going to be president.
because women are sold as objects in the international sex trade.
and because it is men who are the brains behind this sex trade.
because girls are many places refused the right to go to school.
because women in Switzerland didn't get to vote before 1971.
because girls are being sexually harassed and raped every day.
and because when a woman takes it to court they ask her what she was wearing.
because women normally take their husbands last name when they get married.
because we haven't had a woman as prime minister since 1996.
because people keep telling me that the international women's day has gone out on date and that we don't need it anymore.
because women before me have fought to get to where we are today.
and because I want to continue fighting for women's rights.
because I want to feel free!
Happy women's day to all you lovely women out there!!!
