<p>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.<br>
Many have been damaged for life. More unlucky ones have died. Some of these victims have no voice of their own.<br>
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.<br>
The perpetrators are human beings living among us and we must prod their consciences.<br>
Be part of history and join your ink with ours as we battle against ‘DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND WOMEN ABUSE’.<br>
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.<br>
