I ...You should definitely bring back your project. I remember that post where you caught yourself being gender biased. I don't think you should beat yourself up about it. I think doing your project was probably what drew your attention to your mistake so quickly. <br /><br />I never really thought about how hard women and girls from other countries have it until I learned that often girls miss a week of school during their period because they don't have access to sanitary products. It can be hard being a women in general but super hard in many other parts of the world.<br /><br />Thanks for linking up for #flashbackFriday. I am pinning your post to the #FlashbackFriday Pinterest board.

And don't be too hard on yourself there, Savvy....everyone struggles with their own internal biases. Perhaps continuing the project will help you eliminate any doubts you have on where your heart lies.

Not too long ago in the United States women couldn't vote, let alone hold office. <br /><br />Change is difficult, but every little change helps and what Azita does may seem like little but it's those little changes all linked up that create strength and hopefully eventually greater freedom for women.
