I lament the situation of our country, where women are often assaulted and raped.
We lose precious lives, including sisters, moms, and aunts.
How can we advance as a nation if we continue to damage those who have built and nurtured it?
Do we want to stagnate and regress instead of progressing?
Let us nurture and defend our women, showing them love and respect.
By doing so, they will thrive and bring success, money, and power to our country.
Let us unify, knowing that we are stronger together than we are alone.
