Black, Beautiful and Blessed


Love your wife without restraint

Fill her tummy, clothe her back,

Do care for her body,

Caress her, fills her desires all the time in your life

It is a present that does honor to the home.

Do not be brutal, care lead your wife better than force.

Her well-being and happiness, that is what she aspires,

There in her heart, that's what she looks for.

Know that you are what fix her in the house, because if you reject her, she is an abyss.

Opens your arms for her to snuggle in, and show your love for her


In the ancient African society not subject to foreign influence, the woman was perceived as the complementary to the man. She was the housewife, the personification of female beauty, a source of stability and wisdom, a creative lover, a sister aware, a spark of eroticism, a caring mother and a future heavenly goddess. The projection of the divine relationship with the man began the principle of representation of the Virgin and Child (NB. representations of Isis suckling her son Horus, the archetypes are representations of the Virgin Mary suckling the infant Jesus) and Trinity: Father, mother, child (later in Western society nomadic father, son and Holy Spirit (the mother has disappeared!).
No work or branch of study was prohibited to women. Thus, in African history there are women doctors (Pesechet), Pharaoh (Hatshepsut), Queen (Nzinga), army chief (Amani Renas), Minister of Foreign Affairs (Tiy), etc. ... The King leads with women who also play the role of advisor (wife, mother). In African religious view, God loves women as much as men. The married couple forms then a spiritual one envelope.
This icon of beauty was celebrated in the past by other people. The Bible provides undeniable proof that black beauty was idealized in the past (eg Song of Songs in the Bible: "I am black and beautiful" or Queen of Saba).




Today ... The black beauty has been depreciated for the following reasons:
Colonization and slavery that have greatly altered the male / female relationships (devaluation of black women perceived at the time as a chattel and a progenitor without family structure fixed)
The foreign cultural influences and dominant in and outside Africa, The changing status of white women in Western societies that accessing jobs rewarding and well paid, become the favorite target of major advertising campaigns (cosmetics, fashion ...), of blockbuster movies (Hollywood) and sociologists who want to see companies grow. As a result, little valued and subject to all the difficulties and discrimination, the black beauty passes gradually into the background and is not valued as highly in the minds clinging to their African essence. It is certain that the value of self is acquired also in the eyes of others. In other words, if the look of black men on black women is sincere, respectful, responsible (socially, economically, family, culturally rewarding ...), and attentive, no doubt that this will help to shine again in the black beauty the world.

Wonder

You say that you love animals
But you cage them
You say you love flowers
But you cut them
So when you say you love me
I'm scared...

Violence Against Women Around The World



Violence against women and girls continues without any signs of slowing in every continent, country and culture. It takes a devastating toll on women’s lives, on their families, and on society as a whole. Most societies forbid such violence — yet the reality is that too often; it is covered up or even accepted.
I will explain to you not 1, not 2 but 6 diffrent types of abuse

Domestic Abuse
Domestic violence includes physical and sexual attacks against women in the home, within the family or within an intimate relationship.
It can happen to anyone with no race, age or financial discrimination.
And it is not your fault!!
In many countries women themselves think that it is right for a man to beat his wife as form of punishment. Some reasons are: She burns the food, she neglects the children, and she doesn’t want to have sex with me! But the truth is no matter what the reason such behaviour is abusive and can be punish.

Sexual violence
It is estimated that worldwide, one in five women will become a victim of rape or attempted rape in her lifetime. In many societies, the legal system and community attitudes add to the trauma that rape survivor’s experience. Women are often held responsible for the violence against them. In South Africa, women have been raped and beaten up just because they were wearing skirts. They call that corrective rape. In countries under the Shari a, if a married woman is raped and cannot present 2 male witnesses it considered adultery and she is to be stoned to death. But even more in Some parts of India if a rapist proposes to marry his victim he is allowed to go free.

Harmful traditional practices
Female Genital Mutilation is the female circumcision. Often part of fertility or coming-of-age rituals, FGM is sometimes justified as a way to ensure chastity and “purity.” An estimated 130 million girls and women alive today have undergone FGM, mainly in Africa and some Middle Eastern countries.
Early Marriage is a very common practise in Africa, South Asia and Middle East. In Iran a father can marry his daughter from the age of thirteen and in Africa some girls are promised the minute they are born. Families marry off their young daughters as a mean of gaining economic security and status for themselves. Due to the common practice of “bride money,” the girl child becomes an asset exchangeable for money or goods. Families see committing a young daughter (or sister) to a family that is able to pay a high price for the bride as a viable solution to their poverty. But Insecurity and conflict crises also support early marriage.

Trafficking
Trafficking involves the recruitment and transportation of persons, using deception, violence and threats in order to place and keep them in a situation of forced labour, slavery or servitude. Women are trafficked into a variety of sectors of the informal economy, including prostitution, domestic work, agriculture or the garment industry. Poverty puts women and girls at a higher risk to be targeted by traffickers.

Armed Conflicts
The victims in today’s armed conflicts are far more likely to be civilians than soldiers. Some 70 percent of the casualties in recent conflicts have been non-combatants — most of them women and children. Women’s bodies have become part of the battleground for those who use terror as a tactic of war — they are raped, abducted, humiliated and made to undergo forced pregnancy, sexual abuse and slavery. During the genocide in Rwanda 500000 women were raped an in Congo today a woman is raped every two hours.

HIV/AIDS Violence
Women’s inability to negotiate safe sex and refuse unwanted sex- meaning being unable to say “no!” to a partner and be heard, leading to sexual assault such as rape-is closely linked to the high prevalence of HIV/AIDS. Violence is also a consequence of HIV/AIDS: for many women, the fear of violence prevents them from declaring their HIV-positive status and seeking help and treatment. In 1998, in South Africa Gugu Dlhamini was stoned to death by male members of her community after she declared her HIV positive Status on television and radio on World Aids Day.

Don't say it will never happen to me, because the truth is that most us probably will experience violence at least once. Be aware and make sure you are strong and know how to deal with this challenge.
