Empowering Women Together

Dear World


Recently, with the advent of women empowerment, debate has been on the core of society. During the era of slave trade, hard core debate has been engaged in, in a bid to free the African from being exposed to harsh conditions and sold on the American market. There are many stories of African women who have been raped on  their way to America, and exploited as sexual objects. The future of women and girls was unknown to them. Debate, the key to unlocking freedom of slaves, is the key to unlocking the freedom of women today. Sarah Batman, a South African woman, made history by becoming the first black woman to be used by her slave masters to earn a living through exposing her own body to the world. She was treated like an animal because, for the first time, the white man had seen the naked body of an African woman. Today, young women show their naked bodies in the name of rights and freedom of expression. Is this right or wrong?

Food for thought.
