Seriously?

Are we not passed this yet? Just a little eye opener after Woman's day celebrations yesterday.

We forget that there is still persecution of innocents around the world. We forget how fortunate we are to live in a society that tolerates not only our indescretions but listens to our voices, a society that respects women for the most part and values our contribution. It must be so frightening to be a woman in the Middle East. What is Human Rights if it is not the protection of your liberty? Where are the international organisations created to protect people against their own governments?

What a frightening world. We are lucky to be South African. We are lucky to be free.
