It begins with me
#It_starts_with_me_GBV_must_cease
It starts with me, pronto and presto. Call upon my brother from the west, shout for the one in the east and the north and south, the aim is not to survive but to keep fighting, fighting for the vulnerable, the weak and those fear have declared dead already.
For my sister, for your daughter, for every female under the sun. In my war clothes, the rifle in my hand is not for killing but to protect. With these hands of mine, hurting is not on the menu but to raise them in preventing danger to fall upon every girl child, to raise my fist in condemning every act of woman violation
I'm a man, not a beast, not a subject of intimidation, I'm a brother, my sister smile keeper. I'm a husband, not a pain source but a joy and safety creator. I'm a son, a linage of humanity and compassion, a mother's son, a female make
I'm a parent, a guardian, an uncle, a father not an abuser, not a violator, not a fear creator. I'm human, an image of love, humility, humanity, and peace.
My daughter, your sister, our mother are designed to be loved, protected, cherished and honored not to be molested, not killed and raped.
The fight is on, my gloves are off, standing for women against men. The fight is on, Gender Based Violation must cease, it starts with me, here and now
