Eddembe Ly'Abakyala

Women are women,
not like men
the head at home.

Women's rights at home
are misused by men,
and others are killed
in minor things.

What's wrong with men,
who behave a bad way,
to make the women cry,
the  mothers of the world?

Women are women,
who need their rights,
freedom and joy
to enjoy this world.

Eddembe ly'abakyala,
it's a luganda word
means women's rights.
