The Kick!
 
Did you know woman is the best creation in the whole universe?? But see what has happen to this species? Should we blame ourselves for being taken for a ride? We accept to be used and  discarded like bag of rotten potatoes. We are treated as commodities, when we are not on demand  later in our life , men take the fresh ones. Yes I am talking about how women are subjected to violence, extortion, exploitation, stigmatised and sometimes being murdered. How many women who are in a better position come forward to help?? Our first ladies once they are at presidential palace , they care less. Look around the world from child marriage as young as 10years old to kidnapping of our young girls and use them as sex objects. Anytime I switch on the TV or read online news I see women and our girls subjected to inhuman treatment.
Husbands get drunk and use their wives as punching bags. Single mothers are on the rise!! unfaithful husbands sleep around with sexual workers and bring diseases to their wives. Sadly those wives are blamed and some cases beaten. Once they are widowed, they are called all sorts of names , from witches, killers and greedy to inherit their husbands money. In some parts of the world they are chased out of their houses, get killed or burned alive. I am proud to be born as a woman and I thank my Creator I am fortunate enough to enjoy my womanhood, but what about the majority of other women??
We women dont help  ourselves, one sister is ready to step on another sister to achieve her goals, instead it is better to stand together and support one another and crush mens chauvinism.  I get pissed off when I see two women fighting for a man, tearing their clothes, disgrace!!  There is many fish in the ocean, find your own damn it. Dont spoil your friends or somebody elses marriage.
I call all women to join hands and help one another, supporting and encouraging
each other. If you see a single woman be kind ,spread your hands and help. Take her children along with yours when you go out for icecream or funfare. Invite her when you have parties, so she can  too have the goodies which you enjoy. Adopt  or sponsor a poor child and give him/her a  better life. If there is amore equal distribution of weatlh, our world will be a better place.
WOMEN, now is the TIME, what will do to make a difference???

Amen! I agree completely!

Though in some places it's not so black and white, some women are the ones abusing the men! Hahaha! Of course, no man would ever admit to that. ;)

Thanks kenyantykoon.
Nyla I respect yr comment but when u compare the ratio of women abusing men to men abuse women is like a drop of water in the ocean to what women are going through.

What will YOU do and what have you done to make a difference?

I believe that writing a blog is a good way to raise awareness but we must take into account that a staggeringly tiny proportion of the women you are referring to have computer literacy and access to the internet.

Hi Anonymous. Education in the key and my mom (Farida) has been a primary school teacher for years and has run businesses that support and empower African women. There's a ton of starfish to throw back into the ocean and my mom has done more than others by throwing her share in. I'm proud of her actions and support her efforts.

I agree, we really can help. We should all start looking for some good to do. It starts with just one person at a time. God Bless You for your compassion.
