BOY CHILD

-There are very young men engaging in questionable behavior such as overindulgence in alcohol and hence are alcoholics whose future is bleak to say the least. Young men are also involved in numerous cases of robbery and when the long arm of the law catches up…well life comes to a standstill. Let us continue to empower the girl/woman but let us not forget the boy. This after all part of Gender Equality, Globally, boys are more likely to drop out of school. They are more likely to abuse drugs. A boy child in some countries is 20 times more likely to be imprisoned. And We believe, by insisting on gender equality, we miss the point. Gender equality is a utopian, if not alien concept. For, how can you compare the incomparable? Boys, by nature of their wiring, are fundamentally different from girls.
