Preserving it the halal way 😊

Every time fear Women, fear Women. I fear whomsoever doesn’t fear Women. Even us Women are afraid of ourselves.

I mean someone that’ll convert water 💦 to beef, bone, hair etc.

Someone that’ll push an entire human being out of their body.

Someone that bleeds every 28days for 5-6days without dying.

Someone that’ll feel like they want to eat but yet not hungry or don’t know what to eat.

Someone that’ll have a closet full of clothes but yet don’t know what to wear.

Someone that’ll shave off their eyebrows and use pencil to draw something like this 〽️.
Someone that’ll cry when they’re happy and cry when they’re sad.

Someone that’ll say leave me alone but yet asked why did you leave me alone ?

Women are gods………
To be Continue

I’m here today to congratulate the newly weeded women(una tenky o).

Anyways that’s reminds me that we are in the holy month of Ramadan which is the month of repentance, forgiveness and reconnecting to our maker(Allah).

This is the time when wives, daughters and mothers are faced with burden roles in their homes like cooking, child caring etc while they are still fasting all in the name of customs and traditions.

The roles women played in their household or community is a tremendous one, but yet still they are not giving much attention neither compensating them.

To all the husband that this may concern, I want you all to know that this month comes with a heavy duty in the home. Your responsibilitie is to assist them in the household duties for this month of Ramadan if not always.

“women dem go spend hours na kitchen fr prepare food, prayer time go meet and pas dem Dae…tym fr cut fast go pas fr put food na em bellies nd som man go eat nd nr tell tenky bck or sy ein nr sweet.”

Men show support not only for this month but always, compensate them as they deserve it.

Women are the most beautiful creation on earth but society tend to marginalise their Potentials which come with societal expectation and stereotypes. They are not considered to be important by not taking their opinions, views and decisions to consideration instead they are being sideline.

Society laid more emphasis on how women should and should not behave, how they must dressed ,talk ,and interact in society.

Today the complete version or definition of woman is one who’s mutilated, knows how to cook, dressed in a way that pleases society.

However, society expect women to be married and have children and scrum to our blind cultures and traditions. And when your definition does not match up then you are incomplete.

Moreover, since we are catching up with the global north, series of awareness are on the peak. Their have been important roles played by women themselves in making their way through in their rightful place.

Finally, there are so many questions on my mind to ask, why women? Why are they derived from their basic rights? Why society see the need for them not to participate in decisions making and if they do the violence surrounds it make women unfit.

There are times when your family doesn’t support you in your decisions, and that is when you need to stand for yourself. And empowering yourself is very important and much needed, which will determine you as a woman. Women are often seen as housewives and caretakers, but these days women are working and doing well in their career, and that is what empowerment is, to do better and better. Female empowerment is essential because empowering a woman is giving the women their rights. They should have equal rights in everything that they do. Female empowerment is not only crucial at their home but also wherever they go. There are different ways in which you can empower yourself as a woman. Stand up for yourself, say no to people, think positively, and empower your thoughts. The main aim is to choose to be a warrior and not a victim

It takes years as a woman to unlearn what I have been taught to be sorry for. It takes years to find my voice and my real estate. My dad always said, 'Don't fit into the glass slipper like Cinderella did, shatter the glass ceiling because you have chosen the path to equality and don't let them turn you around. I have a brain and a uterus, and I use both to fight this course till I see change.

I encourage women to step up, don't wait for somebody to ask you. Don't waste your energy trying to change opinions. Do your thing, and don't care if they like it. Women are complicated and multifaceted. Not because women are crazy, but because people are crazy, and women happen to be people. A woman is human, She is not better, wiser, stronger, more intelligent, more creative, or more responsible than a man. Likewise, she is never less. A woman is human, let women support women, together we can do it.

It took me quite a long time to develop a voice, and now that I have it, I am not going to be silent. I think transwomen, and transpeople in general, show everyone that you can define what it means to be a man or woman on your own terms. A lot of what feminism is about is moving outside of roles and moving outside of expectations of who and what you're supposed to be to live a more authentic life.

I want to build a community where women of all races can communicate and continue to support and take care of each other. I want to give women a space to feel their own strength and tell their stories because women needs a seat at the table, they need an invitation to be seated there, and in some cases, where there is not a table, they need to create their own table. We want the world to understand that we cannot implement change effectively without women's participation in both political and economic activities.

If only women were considered we can have the change we need in any nation.

My movement is my movement, I’m going to still be doing this. I’m not going to suddenly change. I’m going to still be telling my life story through this page of mine. And if that’s body positive to you, it good. If that’s feminist to you, then fine. If that will change your life, amen.

Because we as women cannot all succeed when half of us are held back. I call upon our sisters around the world to be brave to embrace the strength within themselves and realize their full potential. We need women at all levels, including the top, to change the dynamic, reshape the conversation, to make sure women’s voices are heard and heeded, not overlooked and ignored.

Women empowerment is all about equipping women and allowing women to make all the decisions related to their life through the different problems in society.

Empowerment includes raising women’s status through education, career, literacy, training, and other aspects of life. Female empowerment is defined as promoting a woman’s selfworth and their ability to do things based on their own choices and their right to influence social change for themselves and others.

So let us all stand for the change we need as women for the better tomorrow
