In the middle east we're still in the 19th century when it comes to women rights💔. We need support and a huge movement at least to fight violence and murder. I'm glad in other parts of the world genders are almost equal though.

"The denial of such equality perpetrates an injustice against one half of the world’s population and promotes in men harmful attitudes and habits that are carried from the family to the workplace, to political life, and ultimately to international relations. There are no grounds, moral, practical, or biological, upon which such denial can be justified." ~ ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Baha'i Faith

Mama, just killed a man Put a gun against his head Pulled my trigger, now he’s dead Mama, life had just begun But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away Mama, ooh, didn’t mean to make you cry If I’m not back again this time tomorrow Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters Too late, my time has come Sends shivers down my spine, body’s aching all the time Goodbye, everybody, I’ve got to go Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth Mama, ooh, I don’t want to die I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all
