What comes to mind when you hear her lamenting? Why do you ask for forgiveness when you constantly beati her up, constantly rape her, even though you see her soul losing it all because of the pain you’re causing? Shouldn’t you be the one who should be protecting her against wicked people?

We don’t know who to trust now as women, even our blood brothers turns against us. I don’t want to mention our biological fathers who have turned into monsters. We don’t feel safe anymore. We don’t even feel safe at churches because of dirty men claiming to be priests and hiding behind the Bible, but instead doing nasty things. I fail to understand what have we done as women to deserve all of these things?

We are now tired of living in fear. We are begging for your forgiveness and compassion. We want to live in peace without asking who’s next to be raped or killed. Please protect us and stop gender-based abuse.
