Essay from Kumushbibi Kholikulova

Young Central Asian woman with long dark curly hair and a green top holding certificates.

“A Girl and Power!”

“The girl won’t earn a city by studying,” — this phrase has sadly become deeply rooted in our culture, and unfortunately, many parents still agree with it. But if a girl is given a chance, if she’s supported and trusted — she can make it happen.
Maybe if you give her a little trust, she’ll return it a thousandfold with results!

Yes, they say a girl doesn’t need to be strong — but she already is strong!
Because she feels, she endures, she dreams — and most importantly, she possesses an invincible strength no one can see.
Yet that power is often dimmed by just a few words:
“You’re a girl — know your place!”
“You’re a girl — even if others speak, you stay quiet!”
“A girl who steps out isn’t a good girl!”
And so on…

But why shouldn’t a girl dream?
Why should her life be limited to housework?
After all, girls have dreams in their hearts too…
They too have a journey, a fight, a power!

I’ve seen it.
I’ve seen how girls bury their dreams deep inside,
Only because of words like “She can’t do it,”
Only because no one believed in her.

But I know this:
If you show even a little trust in a girl,
She becomes a hundred times stronger.
If the road is open — she runs.
If there’s a hurdle — she jumps.
If she’s silent — she screams within.

She’s not just a pair of beautiful eyes.
She is power. She is will. She is life!

I’m not writing this article for no reason.
These words are not just for myself,
But for every girl who couldn’t show her strength.

How long will we stay silent?
How long will phrases like “You’re just a girl” kill our dreams?

In conclusion,
A girl doesn’t need to become strong — she’s already strong.
Her power isn’t just physical — it lives in her spirit, her dreams, and every step she takes.
But recognizing that strength, believing in it, and helping it rise to the highest peaks — that’s our responsibility.

Giving girls opportunities, supporting them, fighting beside them — this can change the world.

Every girl carries great dreams in her heart,
And to make those dreams come true, she only needs one thing: trust.
If we give her a chance, no obstacle will stand in her way.

So let’s believe in girls, acknowledge their strength, and create space for them —
Because doing so won’t just transform our society,
It will transform the world.

A girl who believes in her power and fulfills her potential
Doesn’t just uplift her own life —
She elevates future generations.
Because a girl — she is not only the future,
She is the very force that shapes life today.

Know this well:
A girl is power!
A girl is trust!
A girl is the future!
