Millennium Fellowship Project: Female Health Awareness

While growing up I've always felt less of myself because I was a female, I had dreams but they're always short lived due to my gender and I was always restricted to a lot of things even to quality health care.
Around me I saw the restrictions as well and I thought about what the reason could be , what made a male different from a female and I found nothing basically only our reproductive system.
This made me realize how many dreams could have been rendered worthless because of gender inequality , it also restricted us to quality health care
This issue has been traced to the institutions and communities.
I became inquisitive and I read books that could broaden my mindset, I made myself available for tasks that was narrowed to only guys .
I made immense contribution in my institution and communities.
Now I want to make it known to not only my institution but to the world that irrespective of your gender you could always make a change.

This project would open the eyes of many that gender equality is a right and not a choice, it'd also help prevent violence against women and also essential for economic growth.
Societies where women and men are valued and equal the society becomes safer and healthier to live in.
And a society where both genders have the right to quality healthcare care.
