16 Days of Activism Against Woman and Child Abuse

S ober your mind and clear the mist of ignorance I mmediate reaction is required to gang up against perpetrators X enial approach is needed to shield the victims from prejudice T o help everyone understand their struggles, education is vital E very day I hear voices of abused women and children so loud, who are E mbedded by perpetrators that are protected family ties. Their protection N ullifies all the laws meant to deal with perpetrators of abuse D evastating news we hear on daily basis A mongst ourselves we gossip about victims dilemmas instead of calling Y oung and old to shun an abusive behavior S ober your mind and clear the mist of ignorance O ver the years we’ve called for unity and F avors to converge in solidarity to support victims of rape A t least to show them, they are not alone C avities of abusive incidences are vivid, especially T o the young ones who are victims of rape I ncluding those who were sexually abused. V enting words like, it’s your fault I nflict contradictory perceptions in a victim’s mind S ober your mind and clear the mist of ignorance More than 16 days is need to clear the mist of ignorance A ctive participations is crucial to help us G ain trust and to restore confidence of the victims A nd the support of the entire nation I n this way we can all be sure that N o one will be left alone to deal with the ordeal of abuse S ukumani sakhe isizwe T he time is now! C hildren must be protected, and be H idden away from the monster’s with I ll behaviors, irrespective of their biological connection L ove is all they need to D are life obstacles and conquer them R emember they draw courage from us E ven if we poor a simple gesture of love goes a long way N ever underestimate the power of love A lmighty gives us children to love and support them N o one must take advantage of their fragile situation D o not condone any acts that violate their rights. it starts with you W omen often delay to pinpoint abusive behaviors, especially O f their partners who are romantically involved simply because their M othering nature shadows the realities of abuse A nd silence the nagging voice awaking their conscience N o one should ignore their conscience. A cts of violent and abuse are inhuman and B rutal to humanity U nder no circumstances should we tolerate their ill behavior S ober your mind and clear the mist of ignorance E xpel propensities of woman and child abuse. Real Man heed the call
