no emotion, just cold hard fact

This baby girl is 10 months old
She was raped by her stepfather
The witch doctor tells men that in order to be cleansed
From the HIV virus
They have to rape a young virgin
This baby girl did not cry
She was so badly wounded
Her womb had to be removed
She could not cry



This is a group of teenage mothers
They became pregnant
As a result of being raped on the way to school
They often have to walk long distances
And cases like these are not uncommon
They seek refuge at a temporary shelter
Because their families shun them

Mothers and wives get infected with AIDS
Through their promiscuous bastard husbands
Their extended families abandon them and their children
When they die
No one will take care of their kids

In one town the population is 100 000
There are 6 doctors
The teacher-student ratio used to be 1:100
Now it is 1:200
The teacher takes half the year off
The kids are left uneducated

The cycle continues



Influential people like Prince Harry and Angelina Jolie use their powerful status to create highly crucial awareness.
Sensible people like us should put this awareness into action
My grandma remarked, “Where is GOD in all of this?”

Maybe one day they will get their retribution
