16 Days of Activism

Before we expect them to speak up. Before we judge them. Before we make fun of their sufferings. Before we label them by names; Let us take a good look at our mindsets. When they keep silent we call them cowards, They report the abuse, we laugh at them. Her name is Rose But we change it to "the girl that was raped" Her name is Bridget now we call her "the wife that was beaten up by her husband" We say things like "Only a coward and fool can be beaten up or raped" How do we expect them to come forth? Before we expect them to stand up and fight, we have to change our mindset. Stop laughing at them and start encouraging them.
