Happy womens month to all the beautiful women in the world.

I have DECIDED to dedicate this month to something I hold close to my heart. I have never truly been expressive of how deeply I feel regarding the topic of Gender based violence along with women and children abuse!

I am going to begin with myself, because in order to create awareness you have to be open and honest with the world so they can see the truth.

So here it goes :

I AM A WOMEN WHO HAS ENDURED PAIN AND SUFFERING AT THE HANDS OF MEN WHO BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE BIGGER, BETTER AND STRONGER THAN ME, BUT THEY DIDN’T KNOW THAT WITH EVERY WRONG THEY DID TO ME THEY WILL MAKE ME STRONGER, LOUDER AND EVEN MORE POWERFUL THAN THEY WOULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED.

I WAS A VICTIM OF CHILD MOLESTATION, I WAS A VICTIM OF RAPE, I WAS A VICTIM OF EMOTIONAL ABUSE, I WAS A VICTIM OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT, I WAS A VICTIM OF EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL, I WAS A VICTIM OF PHYSICAL VIOLENCE BY THE HANDS OF A MAN BECAUSE I WOULD NOT LISTEN, I WAS A VICTIM OF INTIMIDATION BY MEN IN POWERFUL POSITIONS TO KEEP ME QUIET, I WAS A VICTIM OF THE WORLD…

I AM NO LONGER A VICTIM OF THIS WORLD! NOW I AM A VOICE, A VOICE THAT IS NOT AFRAID TO TELL YOU WHO I AM, A VOICE THAT WILL SPEAK FOR THOSE THAT ARE NO LONGER HERE BECAUSE THEY WERE MURDERED FOR NOT SURRENDERING TO THE WILL OF A MAN, I WILL SPEAK FOR THOSE THAT CONTINUE TO ENDURE THE PAIN AND SUFFERING OF THE HANDS OF THE MEN THAT RAPE THEM AND THAT BEAT THEM, I WILL SPEAK FOR CHILDREN THAT ARE SUFFERING BECAUSE NOBODY CAN PROTECT THEM, I WILL SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THOSE THAT ARE FORCED INTO SILENCE, FOR THOSE THAT ARE AFRAID AND FOR THOSE THAT WILL ONE DAY FIND THEIR VOICE AGAIN BECAUSE SOMEONE LIKE ME WILL HELP THEM TO PULL THEMSELVES OUT OF BEING THE VICTIM AND HEAL THEMSELVES INTO BEING THE VICTOR, THE PROTECTOR AND THE WARRIOR!

I AM NOT AFRAID, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT I WOULD RATHER DIE STANDING UP FOR WHAT I BELIEVE IN, THAN LIVE COWERING IN A CORNER AFRAID OF WHAT YOU MIGHT DO TO ME. I AM STRONGER THAN YOU THOUGHT I WOULD BE. I AM A WARRIOR OF LIGHT.

I WILL BE WHO I WAS BORN TO BE NO MATTER WHAT YOU TRY TO DO TO ME!

THIS IS THE MONTH OF THE WOMEN, THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW CHAPTER.

TODAY I AM MY OWN VOICE, TOMORROW I WILL BE YOURS!
