Creator GOD, YOU created us man and woman in YOUR own image. We thank YOU for all the girl children in our homes, Churches and society. We pray for the girl children who are victims of sexual abuse, harassment and child labour. May YOU grant us courage so that we may fight against these evils and also foeticide and infanticide. Enable us to respect, honour and protect girl children in our own context and thereby assure their future to them, through JESUS CHRIST our LORD, who lives and reigns with YOU and the HOLY SPIRIT, one GOD world without end.
Amen.
