Vote South Asia

Congratulations to you and gratefully to let you know we are the world’s largest young campaign ever. Join us with just 1 click http://goo.gl/nVAEhC to elect Rakibul Hasan, a South Asian, citizen to Bangladesh, to be new generation of family planning leaders of 120under40, an initiative of Bill & Melinda Gates Institute, at Johns Hopkins University, USA.

Friends and fellows, we stand before you tonight to reiterate we are in a campaign and we believe an oligarchy of sex, which makes every male over every female, which says all men sovereigns, all women subjects, which causes mass rebellion into million families, can no longer be continued in 2016.

In our campaign, we observed not only a popular upsurge, but truly, a celebration of choices we voted -- symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning of a new trend of young leadership, globally connected, locally engaged. Pleasure to let you know we are together in the race and our campaign has already risen to the majestic heights.

If you think Child Marriage is disgrace, Gender Violence is curse, this campaign is yours. We are running most inspiring campaign of young people to stop violence against girls and women.

Scores of countries and cultures are failing to protect the opportunities of girls in the way they do for boys. Too many obstacles between girls and the privilege they deserve.

To unlock the horizon, we will change mindset of our families and for sure, it is not the sole duty of women, but us all.

We see no cause for pride in denial of equal rights of millions, because simply they are girls or women.

Girls who marry young, earlier stay at home, can’t go to school, soon ended up their dreams into the manacles of illiteracy, poverty, illness and, ultimately, powerlessness. So, how to break up this vicious cycle, answer is simple, starting with ‘education’. We all know it transforms lives, families, communities, countries and the world. When we invest in girls, everybody wins.

Nothing changes overnight, week, year or perhaps our lifetime, but let us begin to end long twilight struggle in the families, year in and year out, we will perpetuate hopes, together we are in the race; win, lose or whatever, we will parade forever.

North and South, East and West, no matter which continents you belong to, you can definitely vote us just clicking onto the link, as simple as one click: http://120under40.org/vote/515 We vote everyday, from every device until 10 July.

Together we cannot fail. Young destiny is tied up each other. With faith, dignity and disciplines, we will be able to work together, pray together, struggle together, suffer together, stand up together, knowing that somehow this situation will be changed.

We walk, we pledge, we march with the hymns and protests of millions of girls and women.

Just got to know, the world has spoken, thousand voted. Beauty of our shared campaign is that it is truly apolitical, so we can definitely vote beyond, no matter which continent we belong to. And we all know young people have no boundaries at all, suffering united, struggling united and ultimately our time has come we will respond united.

We will write our stories, speak our causes, celebrate our differences, and let the young parade march forever. Above all together we CANNOT fail. Victory is ours; thousands cannot lose.
