The Sweetest Days: How Turkey Celebrates Ramazan Bayramı In Turkey, Ramazan Bayramı—known in English as Eid al-Fitr—arrives not merely as the end of a month-long fast, but as the beginning of the year’s most cherished days.

Cry of An African Girl Child
Can you imagine what life could be like if you were rejected even before birth? Yes, you heard me right. An African girl surrounded with a million aunties and uncles but always feel lonely. Boys and girls enjoyed running and playing hide and seek under bright sunshine and bright moonlight. This is typically what life looks like to other girls who have opportunities of being nurtured and cared for by adults around them.

Why Sex Education is Important for Children
Sex education. Just two words, yet they spark endless debates among parents, teachers, and policymakers. Some people still think that talking to children about sex will encourage them to experiment too early. Others believe it’s a necessary part of growing up, like learning to read or ride a bike. But here’s the truth: sex education isn’t about telling kids to go out and have sex. It’s about giving them knowledge—real, honest, age-appropriate knowledge—so they can make informed decisions, stay safe, and understand their own bodies.

Despite laws that regulate it, inheritance remains a deeply contentious topic, tearing families apart, silencing women, and flooding courts with cases that drag on for years.
