RAISE A MAN,TEACH THE BOY CHILD.

IT SHOULD BE TEACH A BOY CHILD BEFORE PROTECT A GIRL CHILD

Almost all campaigns against rape or abuse talk about protecting a girl child and never about teaching the boy how to behave,respect and look at women.If parents teach their children from a very young age what women are to society,how they should be treated,taken care of and protected i think we would be having low or no rape and abuse cases at all.

Girls are told to come home before dark just so they can be safe from rapists but that has never stopped rape because sometimes it happens during the day and the perpetrator is sometimes the person she knows.I have heard and read about cases where the victim knew or how they were related to the person who hurt them in that way.How can someone who was supposed to protect you do that to you?If that man was taught what is morally right or wrong somehow it would have made a difference,guess what?It is just one of those things that parents think he knows its wrong and he won't do it.

In some societies girls are blamed for putting on clothes that expose their skin,so now we can't express ourselves using clothes,we now have to put on track suits on a hot summer day right?No!that is just not on because some people got raped when they were putting on maxi dresses and when their shoulders were covered.In some cases a toddler is raped and you wonder what exactly was too exposed or was the child's outfit too busty or skimpy for a full grown man to be tempted or to do such a shameful and disgusting act!I sometimes wonder if people really think before raping,like what would they do if someone did it to their sister,mother ,daughter or wives?the same punishment they think of should be given unto them!Oh!no!they should be punished in a way that the society never get a chance to look at them in the same manner because a rape scar can never be erased no matter how long it takes,yes the victims can move on but they never forget.People take extreme measures to make sure that their baby girls are safe,they do not leave them with their boyfriends or to play stepdads because they are afraid of what might happen in their absence,i mean you can not trust anyone not even a neighbour.It is not the responsibility of a mother alone to teach the boy child,men should step up,teach and a show the young ones how it is done,it doesn't have to be your child only,show your neighbours kids,your friends' kids,nephews and others.That way the future generation will only have to hear about rape and  abuse in their history lessons.

Men or "boys" get angry every time when someone says "MEN ARE TRASH".Hello!Go out there teach fellow men how to behave around women,let them know how to deal with their anger and learn not to lay a hand on a woman.Make yourself an exception.How may times must we hear silly excuses like she provoked me?she cheated?i bought her lunch/we went on a date/she talks back and all trashy non sense that make them feel like it is alright to hurt a woman?Physically or emotionally abuse is wrong from all angles.How long should we feel unsafe?how long should we live in fear?There is no excuse for rape and abuse.As we speak or write some women are not here to speak for themselves,they lost their lives due to abuse.Women want to feel safe around anyone,whether we know the person or not,walking the streets in broad day light or midnight,from church or night club we want safety.Now lets raise responsible and loving boys.Lets make it our responsibility to educate both men and boys.
