V-love to ALL women of Congo and of the world!
I think......NO i know after what happened in Kenya after the post election Violence women being raped and used as weapons...is the saddest thing and the worst sought of humanity that should ever happen.Men are the BIGGEST barrier and the worst people to ever think that we are female and superior or male and superior in the century is just so ...old fashioned...i think we are ALL human and need to treat each other with RESPECT and the DIGNITY that we all have been born with and endowed with .....lots of love and huggs from me in Kenya.....till the Violence ends,....Mo!
