I Have Something To Tell You

LTAS Host Janice Pratt was one of ten Liberian girls starring in a UNFPA/ UNICEF documentary, produced for the recently-held International Women's Colloquium, titled “I Have Something to Tell You”. In the documentary, the ten girls write about the past, their dreams and the challenges they face in a country hard hit by years of war and carnage. Some of the girls explained their stories of rape, sexual harassment and rejection. There was awestruck silence in the hall as the documentary was been screened. The life stories of those girls were so powerful; it silenced the most hardened spectator. As Janice put it, “I stood in a room with nine other girls, and the aura felt like it was the most powerful room in the world”.
