A girl with an education is unstoppable—but barriers like gender discrimination, poverty, and exploitation prevent many girls from reaching graduation. Our Youth Ambassadors created #STFPowerOfPoetry to amplify girls' voices about this issue for #PoetryMonth and #GlobalActionWeekForEducation.
This poem was written and performed by 18-year-old Camille S. Campbell of Arizona, U.S.
I use my voice to change the world
to help the silent to be heard.
For girls to choose their own path
to spread equality at last.
I use my voice for blocks to burst
for every girl to be the first.
