"No Woman, No Cry" -Human Rights Day- #16days
“No
Woman, No Cry” is the famous reggae song of Bob Marley and The Wailers. The
original title is “No Woman, Nuh Cry” in Jamaica tongue.The “nuh”, is a shorter
vowel sound for “no”, and corresponds to the short form “don’t”. The song tends
to persuade women not to cry and reassure them that everything will be
alright.This is what my friend Taiwo ADESOBA
from Nigeria has explained.
However,
when I see how much women in the world suffer, I wonder how can women not cry,
When
95% of the victims of violence are female and 95-98% of the perpetrators are
male...
When
every 15 seconds a woman is beaten, raped, or killed...
When
women still don't receive equal payment and are judged only for the fact that
they are WOMEN...
When
women not only in Afghanistan, Republic of Congo or India but also about 2 to 4 million of American women are battered
each year by their partners...
It
is a vicious circle of women's suffer everywhere, everyday...
Despite
this reality, We, women, have the right to Life, to Happiness and to Smile...
On
Bob Marley's beat I offer women, worldwide and
whom I met along the way, this video on the Human Rights Day that marks the end of 16 Days of Activism Against Women... as a woman I celebrate
everyday with a smile and would like all women to smile EVERYDAY...
Nooooooo Woman, Don’t Cry
