Rise up women
He who forces himself on to a woman has no shame
Be careful of playing the blaming game
Women need to stand their ground.
Stand up! Walk out! Don't be held down!
Rise like a phoenix from the ashes
Women rise up in masses!
One time. Two times. Three times passed.
You decide, women. When will be the last?
Women, tell the world how you feel.
Let your open scars heal!
He who knows it happened to you before,
Should not want to walk through that same door
Like an alarm siren, women, let your voice be heard
Create your boundaries! Utter that word!
NO! Say it over and over and over again!
Don't be put on a guilt trip for your pain!
Women need to stand their ground.
Stand up! Walk out! Don't be held down!
