TAKE BACK THE NIGHT

Today we live in times where slavery is still all around us. As we move forward or strive to move forward in providing more freedom and equality and basic human rights for all; we have on the other side the horrible fact. Do we really need millions more victims in order to experience true wake-up call. I really wonder how many more young girls, your daughter my sister our children need to be forced into prostitution.

Girls that have been murdered, girls that have been abuse and still had to come out into the streets. Bounded to that life not by chains or locks but by a motion-Did not choose to stay so she could sell the body, she chose to stay there because she wanted to be with a man who loves her. She even won’t speak to the police because her mind was all brainwashed. Thus others will be too and soon.

City needs to be aware and need to say no we are not going to take it in our city. We can be agents of change too. Restoring faith Ensuring hope.  Protect those who has been survived from living hell- the daunting task of restoring human dignity. Let us break our silence, let us break our tolerance and strengthen the hands of those of us who are fighting this battle and bringing the perpetrators to justice.
