Law student #Studyblr Hoping to inspire & be inspired :)  Studying hard and hoping to find the motivation here.
To my future grandchildren,
I hope that your generation has finally figured it out.
I hope that what I’m about to disclose to you, you only learn about in History textbooks and it is never something you have to relive.
I woke up this morning from a dreamless sleep and I thought about the millions of lives that have been tragically stolen from the world. I thought about all the people that have…
“History, Labelling and Toilets: The Social Model of Disability
In general, humankind is pretty terrible at deciding how it wants to view disability. Is it a tragedy? An inspiration? A problem that needs fixing?
People have been trying to use labels like these for decades, at least, and most of them don’t really work – at least not for all disabled people. They lead to an awful lot of patronising and being made to feel like your entire life is either…
Youth Faces of the world: Featuring youth heroes all around the world
#YouthFacesoftheworld: Meet John from Philippines

Breaking the taboos on periods and contraception
I’m 13, wandering around a supermarket with my dad and brothers. As we are walking I start to feel stabbing pains in my lower abdomen, I tell my dad and rush to find somewhere to sit down because standing up is too painful.
