The very important part of the Women's Day was the dignity restoration to all South African women in particular. This comes after the assualt to a number of women in Johannesburg MTN taxi rank Noord street by taxi drivers. They used to shout for the ladies who wear short skirt which is popular known as (please-call-me). I was really embarrassed by the mob of Taxi Drivers who were yelling and laughing to the ladie at MTN taxi rank while I was driving home from Auckland Park earliar this year. Her day was suddenly ruined by the mob who was yelling behind her back. A month later after the several assualt of women, we have seen them matching in Johannesburg streets from MTN taxi rank to Bree taxi rank. They were matching against the inhumane by the taxi drivers who assuslt them several times. This was their reflection that they need to be respected and to exercise their rights, especially for their outfit.
Why don't we, men respect women? Why don't we behave ourself and let them exercise their rights? Who are we without them? It is rather annoying in the independent country like South Africa to have such bad tendecy still existing among South Africans. Let us value their role in building our nation. I think it is very important to have the whole month dedicated to women. This will eventually change their perception and the stereotypes we assigned to them that"women are inferior to men''. Let us help them to uplift their standard of education through giving them the opportunity to be educated.
So much is happining in this country, people have a tendance of inviting conflicts in thier hands instead of communicating.The freedom that we have is abused, people aint free anmore.
ReplyDeleteThe generation of today does not know the reason of been an South African, they tend to ignore how to wear proper and to respect themselves.

ReplyDeleteWomen deserve to celebrate this month with pride because they were previously dissadvantaged.
