W.O.W (War on Women)

War is being waged on every essence of womankind

 

What kind of war you may ask?

The kind that is both in your face and also behind a mask…

 

From domestic violence, sex trafficking, bullying and rape

To forced marriages, acid attacks and being secretly filmed on video tape.

From being beaten and abused to being gang raped in the streets

From being denied an education to living an existence in which she is made to feel obsolete.

Women who want to be free from captivity
Free from mental slavery
Living in the so called free world
But not free
Not free from attacks on her free choice
Stripped of her dignity
Stripped of her voice

A prisoner of her own beauty
Far from being praised, cherished and adorned
She is beaten, persecuted and scorned

She is the giver of life
But her life is not valued like it should be
Living in a sexist misogynist society

Stop this war being waged on women

Stop this war on womankind
Stop the ignorance and violence

Stop the blind leading the blind

 

Her love is not appreciated
Her innocence is no longer protected

Instead of kissing her scars better
And providing medicine for her pain
The vultures around her scar her for life
Just waiting for the opportune moment to pounce

If she is not ridiculed for being too large
She is told she is too skinny
If she is not loose her peers break her down
If she is friendly she equates to loose
Catch 22
Over and over
Lets instead

Empower

Young girls to make better choices
Encourage all young women of the world to have stronger voices

Intelligent
Powerful
Goddesses with raw strength

 

I want all young women to know that;

 

CONFIDENCE is sexy

Regardless of size or shape

 

INTELLIGENCE is sexy

Regardless of how long or short your hair might be

 

DRIVE, AMBITION and INDEPENDENCE is sexy beyond measure

Not how tight her jeans are or how her lips are made for pleasure

 

Emancipate your minds

Liberate your womanhood

Stand up for womankind

Don’t apologise for having your own mind

 

If you have wide hips

It’s because god made you that way

If you are short

It’s because good things come in small packages

 

If you don’t look like the models in the magazines

Then that’s probably a good thing

Beauty is not what the media tells you it should be

Beauty is what GOD gave you

 

God made you strong �" so don’t make weak decisions

YOU CHOOSE who you ARE !!!

And you CHOOSE who you want to be !!!

 

This is for all of my sisters

All the single mothers

Every women

Every unsung hero whose bravery has never been recognised.

 

For all the silent tears shed

I hear you

And for all those who don’t have the power to speak

I will be your voice

 

Lets stop this war being waged on women

Stop this war on womankind
Stop the ignorance and violence

Stop the blind leading the blind
