Rape is sin against your conscience,
It’s sin against a fellow human,
It’s sin against “femalehood”.
Rape is sin against the dignity of humanity,
It’s sin against humanity,
It’s sin against God.
Why engage in rape?
When every lady should be treated like a friend, in fact as your own sister, or as you will love your daughter treated,
Every rapist has at least a female in his life.
Have you ever thought about seeing the ‘only’ female in your life in such a dehumanizing state?
Mr rapist, what happened to your conscience?
There is no excuse for rape,
There is no level of scores to be settled with rape,
There should be no payback that rape should be the card.
Urge was made for man, man was not made for urge,
Everything you require to control your urge lies within you,
Men will rape us, society will stigmatize us.
We will be alive and happy if only you control your urge.
Retinue of rape victims won’t have the experience, if only your urge was put into subjection.
But many Scars bleed !
This evil done to my gender must stop !
I have the right to my body !
I have the right to say No !
I have the right to be in an isolated place !
What I wear is not an excuse !
We hate to be raped, we hate to be abused !
Women’s lives matter too.
