Darkly pigmented skin has many better function, including a better barrier to water loss, stronger cohesion. But people in our clique don't want to dark-skinned. Because it is not expectable to our clique. Mostly girls don't want to be dark-skinned. But i have no issue with my skin. To avoid the darkness they use many whitening cream.

There is nothing more important than education for girls, I think you will agree.Education is something that makes humans different from animals. Education is important for everyone, but more so for girls. When one girl studies, the whole family reads.Of course the world will develop a lot, but we are still where we were.  In 2022 for us, round bread is more important than anything wether it meant for gathering knowledge and relating it to our own advantages and to the other as well. It's a little better in our village that boys have started to go to schools and colleges, but there's no change for a girls.       In Pakistan, an estimated 22.5 million children are out of school, of which the majority are girls. The reason for this is that in Pakistan, the educational institutions have been attacked many times by the terrorists which has great impact on girls’ education and threats to close down schools. Girl is not a piece of property. She's a child who deserves a future.
