A card on Friday asked why organisations work with girls and leave out boys. A girl who says no needs a boy who hears it.

@youth-and-urbanism.bsky.socialTeach girls to say no. Teach boys to hear it. Friday's room wanted both in one programme, not two.

Friday's room told us girls should lead this conversation, not organisations like ours. Mostly right. We amplify, then step back.

Should we stop asking girls and just fund them? Friday's room said do both. Asking without money is a survey.

@youth-and-urbanism.bsky.socialGirls have been asked enough, now fund them? Both. Asking without funding is a survey. Funding without asking is a guess.

Friday's room asked if international days change anything. Only if we carry them between the dates. That is the plan.

@youth-and-urbanism.bsky.socialDo international days change anything? Only if someone carries them forward between the dates. That is our job.

Would I know if a girl in my block was married at 15? Maybe not. Friday's answer: learn the signs. Then don't look away.

@youth-and-urbanism.bsky.socialWould you know if a girl on your block was married before 18? Friday's room split. Learn the signs, then act on them.

We spend a lot of energy on preventing child marriage, rightly. Friday reminded me of the girls who need a way back.

@youth-and-urbanism.bsky.socialWhen a child marriage fails, a girl rarely gets back to school or home. Ending it is one job. A way back is the other.

The hardest moment on Friday: girls married off to hide abuse at home. There is nothing to settle there. Report it.

@youth-and-urbanism.bsky.socialSome girls are married off to hide abuse in the family. The marriage hides one crime by adding another. Report both.

Friday's room named it plainly: when a man tells a girl he is providing for her, he is buying her. A child is not payment.

@youth-and-urbanism.bsky.socialA girl is not payment for rent, food or fees. When a family is that stretched, support the family, not a marriage.

At one of our forums a man claimed older men stay young by sleeping with girls. We have to answer myths like that, out loud.

@youth-and-urbanism.bsky.socialA man at one of our forums claimed sex with young girls keeps men young. Myths like that give abusers permission.

A question from Friday I keep asking myself: when did I last buy my younger sister something small and just talk to her?
Register for Care and Support Day, 29 Oct: https://youthandurbanism.org/events/international-day-of-care-and-support
@youth-and-urbanism.bsky.socialBrothers: when did you last buy your little sister chips, or ask how she is? A girl seen at home is harder to buy.
