I ♥ Being a Girl, because... I

Girls that were present at our session It's Great to Be a Girl just LOVE being girls, because being a girl to them means being able to:

• feel beautiful
• be more sensitive
  
• be sensible
  
• be strong & sensitive at the same time
  
• be daddy’s girl
  
• be a girl guide
• chose to wear skirts or trousers (and it’s OK)
• cry
• go to the pub with my mates
• wear skirts
• have boobs
• like pink
• reach out more
• enjoy that fight for the equality

Memorabilia

Some souvenirs we brought home from AIDS 2010:
a pin given by our wonderful Y-Peer friends,
an IPPF pin reminding that it's time to stop the criminalization of HIV,
a Women's Right = Human Rights pin
and few I ♥ Being a Girl pins that we've managed to hide for ourselves and not to give away to all those people who were demanding them...

Oh, popularity is so tough, we should've taken more of those with us!

Behind the scenes V

That's how we do the interviews...
and eat CHOCOLATE!

Behind the scenes IV

Time by time we even eat and sleep...

Behind the scenes III

Not only our fabulous t-shirts are making a trend in the International AIDS Conference 2010, we have also pins to be attached and proudly worn... EVERYWHERE!
