A TRIBUTE TO AFRICAN WOMEN!
She is so beautiful a woman ..She is so tender.. She is so emotional...African woman. She is so humble . She is so caring.. She is sensitive ..A woman, She is a mother. A woman on and on she is.. The pride of a woman, just for a cultural practice, she is Abused always...
At the age of 12, In Africa, a man in his 60's pays for her as a wife as culture demands.. Crazy culture of the Land!!! The pride of a woman...Her pain, Her cries, Her Ordeals, Her silent grief...Her Heartbreaks..Her sweats.... Yet, always under rewarded.
I once read a story years back...Sade is on exile... She got married at age 11 and ever since her life Changed.. For 12 years She lived as a slave wife to this rich religious husband ...At 73 he died..As culture and custom permits.. His first son will take over his late fathers wives and wealth. The pride of a woman...Sade could not take it any more and she took a risk of her Life. As She tries migrating to Italy, she died on high sea while being ferried with a rubber boat..Her body was never found till date!
Say no to abuse of women...Say no to early marriage...Stop the killing of females indiscriminately..Stop the rape of our beautiful Women.. African women deserves education, love, care and equality. The pride of a woman.. A woman is also human Not a man's property!!!
Happy Women's Day Celebration!!!
