‘OUR MOTHERS, SISTERS & DAUGHTERS’: No To Rape, Domestic Violence and Women Abuse!

Rape, Domestic Violence and Women Abuse are evils that must not be left to roam free in our societies. The victims are our MOTHERS, SISTERS and DAUGHTERS and we cannot sit back and watch them suffer.
Many have been damaged for life. More unlucky ones have died. Some of these victims have no voice of their own.
They have chosen to chew silence in the world’s extreme corner: battered wives, girls raped by brothers, fathers, uncles, neighbors and ‘friends’, boys abused by ‘aunties’, sodomised by ‘uncles’…the list is endless.
The perpetrators are human beings living among us and we must prod their consciences.
Be part of history and join your ink with ours as we battle against ‘DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND WOMEN ABUSE’.
Our weapon, our language is POETRY. By it, we might save a few, we might heal and transform some of the beasts perpetrate this evils.
A pen, they say, is mightier than swords. So let us wield our swords well and hack at this evil that seems to be threatening the existence of our societies.

    Bio-its a poem about a girl who gets defiled by the uncle and gets pregnant. The dad is beating her up and not believing the uncle could be responsible.

    I watch with tears, Amid loud jeers, I can’t help but hear, The beatings so clear.

    Maimuna is pregnant, Though she is no bad girl, Her dad can’t understand, Oh! The blows so hard.

    Uncle Sam pretending, It is not his doing, Maimuna blames him, But dad cannot believe.

    I feel like defending her, But am still so young, All I can do is write.
