THE POWER OF US

Soukayna (16)

There’s just not enough space for girls.

Ranya (19)

Places to sit outside, benches for girls, that’s why I’m here.

Simone (24)

Recognize your power, girl!

ZuZani (26)

Your word is your want so wield it wise.

Lina (16)

Cela m'intéresse beaucoup.

Ithinathi (17)

We as girls should feel safe everywhere we go & feel safe. Nothing is impossible. Even the world itself say "I'm Possible".

Zimbini (21)

I want to wear what I'm comfortable in without thinking what people may think or say.

Marcella (17)

To be able to give my opinion to make the Marolles better.

Malak (13)

Dans les parcs et tout, je veux être plus libre quand on joue.

Ithinathi (16)

I want to walk free without having pepper spray for my safety.

Zine (16)

She believed she could so she did.

Ketiane (17)

I am glad to participate. I love Brussels a lot and Brussels deserves a better image, a better reputation when it’s about safety for girls. That’s where I want to contribute.

Maryam (16)

I live in the Marolles for nine years now. In public space, we only see boys. I also want to be able to sit somewhere.

Ongeziwe (21)

Marianne

Je suis ici pour faire de nouvelles rencontres.

Rania (16)

Je suis ici pour que nous, les femmes, aient la parole et pour qu’on puisse s’exprimer sur le fait qu’on ne se sente pas toujours libres dans l’espace public.

Juliette (12)

Diane (27)

Wiam (17)

Quand j’ai entendu parler du projet, j’étais directement touchée. Je trouve que c’est important que les filles puissent s'émanciper, qu’elles puissent avoir leur place dans le sport.

Ines (17)

Je veux que la femme ait plus de place dans la société et qu’elle soit plus écoutée.

Romaiça (16)

Not only for us, also for our moms. There’s no space for them in public space. I think they should not be afraid to get out in the streets.

Mayssane (16)

Je suis ici pour que les filles aient plus de place dans la société.

Lonezo (16)

I want to see many young girls to learn how to stand up for themselves and to be independent.

Amahle (16)

I want to be able to study everyday. I want to be a free person ever.

I am the mommy of a twelve year old skater girl. The skatepark could be much more pleasant and friendly for girls.

Saskia (30)

Wanda

uBusi (24)

The best thing you can ever do yourself, as a girls, it is to realize that you have the power to be anything and everything that you want to be.

Lundikazi (16)

As a girl, I want to change other girls so that they can feel comfortable and safe because it's too bad outside.

Sofia (17)

I live in the Marolles for six years now. Safety is important. I know what I am talking about. I already have been assaulted and more than once.”

Lixole (19)

You do not need to be anyones wingwoman but instead make them be under your wing, cause you got to always be the boss baby.

Romane (20)

We have to democratize places for girls. I am a skater and also at the skatepark there is a lot of aggression. I often experience it.

Nouhaila (17)

Je viens pour aider, et parce que je veux que - dans le futur - il y ait plus de place pour les femmes et les filles dehors.

Nour (22)

Luckily I don't have any traumatic experiences. But it’s true that we are often inside. I wonder how we can change things for girls.

Victoire (17)

It’s nice to be able to contribute to a change.

Je suis là pour créer et pour donner mon avis, pour qu’on soit plus à l’aise, pour qu’on évolue dans la société.

Yasmine (19)

Je suis ici parce que je trouve, qu'en tant que filles, on a autant de droits dans l’espace public que les garçons.

Warda (15)

Je suis venue ici pour aider, mais surtout aussi parce que, quand je vais aux terrains de basket, je n’ai pas du tout le sentiment d’être à ma place.
