My daughter is 9. Today is her last day of Gr4.
She plays on the monkey bars, rides her bike, swims, dances, plays soccer etc. She is in the peak of enjoying her childhood.
This is the age when #hijab was put on me. I was 9 when my childhood was snatched from me.

All I wanted to do was play sports, I loved the energy, the team spirit, the competition...but I was raised like veal. Never allowed any sudden movements lest my hymen break. Watch ‘Wadjda’ for a glimpse into our lives:https://youtu.be/3koigluYOH0

Oy. "Raised like veal" is a scary good analogy. That's exactly what it does... I can't even finish the sentence it's so cringeworthingly accurate.

Caged. Unable to move. Once we are of age, we are given away to be used. Our only purpose.
