Woman. Respect yourself!


African woman
Respect yourself! Stop settling !
Stop silencing yourself, stop being complacent and saying 'I did it for peace in my marriage'
Stop putting your value in another person.
A husband doesn't make you superior to a single woman.
Marriage is not the be and all ends in life.
Stop losing your identity and just being known as the 'wife of mr so and so'
You were born for a purpose!
Haven't you heard that respect is earned?

Don't you know that you are worthy.
You deserve respect
You deserve love
You deserve it all
You deserve faithfulness and peace of mind
Stop making excuses for why he beats you, cheats on you and more or less sweeps your feelings under the rug.
Stop leaving your son's education on 'man hood' to the world.
You are his mother. Who is more qualified than you to teach him how to respect a woman.

Stop being a single parent when you are married.
You sit there telling yourself that he will change , not saying anything just sitting there quietly
What are you waiting for?
How will he change when you don't discuss anything with him
Start vocalising your feelings
Mental illness is as real as AIDs.
Denial and delusions lead to one of two places. An early grave or jail.

African woman bring something to your relationship
Yes the man is the head of the family but he is not a mule
He has feelings, He is human. Stop leaving everything up to him
You are partners. Help each other out!

African woman stop being a victim.
Stop accepting bad treatment and start putting your foot down.
Your silence is contributing to the problem
Your quite acceptance is amplifying the problem.

How can the change you want happen without action
Women need to stop hating each other and start organising
It is only when we organise and agree to move with direction that change will happen.
Respect yourself African woman.
You are the change maker.

It is only when we start realising that a man does not define us
That we can come together and:
 a) be the change we want !
 b)  negative norms will change!

Start loving yourself enough and stop accepting rubbish!
