That’s what the girls in the Star Feminine Band sing about in their song, “We Are Star Feminine Band.” The girls in the group are between the ages of 12 and 18, and hail from Natitingou, a tiny village in Benin. They sing for their rights, with the hope of a brighter future for young girls everywhere.
