My speech March 7th 2015 at University of Oxford London. International Women's Day by Amb Lucy Mashua
(Speech read by Dr Tobe at Oxford University London UK on behalf of Lucy Mashua Sharp.) International Women's day March 7th 2015 on FGM in Oxford University London.
Hello distinguished women and gender sensitive men.
I take this honored day to say thank you to my sister and a friend of many years, Dr Tobe Levin for organizing this event, I want to thank Oxford University for opening doors so we can hold church here today LOL, (Event here today).
Thank you all the wonderful live givers/ WOMEN who are here today and all the gender sensitive men here today, honoring the WOMEN of the world today, March 7th International Women's day.
Please continue to imagine I am here and Dr Tobe is not reading this on my behalf and y'all will be fine.
Women, we are the reason of joy, laughter, peace, love, respect, yet we hardly receive this back so we have to fight to receive at least a fraction of it back.
Women, we are givers of lives, yet our lives are taken heartlessly away everyday, if not taken for granted.
Women, we are compassionate, nurturing and empathetic yet we are treated like second, third class citizens, if not like nothing, or a solid matter.
Women, we fight for our families, our clans, our villages, our nations,our races, our men and children yet when it comes to our God given rights we pay with tears and blood.
Women, we are born perfectly with great feminine features, yet we are made to feel like it's a crime to be born a woman, there are all kinds of FEMALE GENDER AND SEXUALITY GENOCIDES.
From our genitals mercilessly mutilated hacked and fed to animals and our blood leaked by dogs and other animals. Everyday over 8000 Women and girls are mutilated in Africa alone, over 3 million annually. If we do the math and help WHO update their misleading global statistics from their 140 millions estimation for the last 3 decades, which has remained at 140, Yet everyday thousands are mutilated!
I bet it's a man in charge of the statistics at WHO, a Mr Douche Bag III. I am so happy for the center stage and global shine FGM atrocity has been exposed. I salute Europe particularly UK for the excellent work y'all are doing here, in the US they are still lazy and unwilling, so please say a prayer for us before I burn the house down.
UK you have led in the example of working with survivors and letting their voices lead the way, however there is a universal discrimination when it comes to fundings. It's the same everywhere, but I think in the US it's worse and its racist. Y'all want to use our voices and stories, yet you don't trust us with your money unless a white elephant supervises us, especially vocal black women, our campaigns remains behind keyboards and smartphones.
Thank you UK authorities, from the parliament to the police, you have been tremendous heroes in the fight against FGM. I am really jealous of the UK activists, UK healthcare workers from surgeons to clinic officers, you have treated survivors with great honor and compassion.
Thank you to all that provides repairs of fistula, hernia, vagina keloids, fibroids, cysts and scar tissues, you are all life savers, survivors lives with one, if not more permanent pains, and did I hear that Mr Douche Bag the IV said WOMEN are the weaker sex? Lol, the jokes is on him as we are the strongest sex!
UK you lead, we follow, while others sleep, now enough of word of mouth, we join efforts weave from talks to actions.
There is Breast ironing where a hot iron is used to flatten women breasts to stop looking too female and sexual!
There is teeth uprooting from the lower jaw, two middle teeth with pliers, or a good manly fist blow, so a woman's smile can not be too sexy!
There is body marking/patterns with red hot iron, or knife to barbecue a woman's facial skin, because having a clear beautiful skin is too sexual and know women are sexual objects, not sexual beings, I know y'all agree with me on that one, *Irony*.
There is the shaving of women hair to bald, because hair is too sexual for women.
In the westernized world (developed world) women are not valued either there is forced prostitution, (Brothels and Massage parlors), where women are pimped by pimps after they take all of their money.
Women are discriminated on jobs and hiring. You will find a well educated intelligent women like Dr Tobe (and I thank you all if you insist, you can call me Dr Mashua) hired as janitors, while a man like Mr Douche Bag, who never even finished college, is the senior supervisor of finances and after few months he bankrupts the company people, loses income only to replace him with Mr Douche Bag II.
And that is why this is a man's world, but it's nothing without a woman or a girl, because all these fools are doing, is destroying the world and because women are super strong and intelligent, we still clean after them and try to rebuild this broken world destroyed by broken men.
God bless the women of this world, we are still strong, even when everyone would understand if we give up. We are beaten down, stepped on, trampled down, yet we rise up again determined to fight like a wounded tiger and that is the STRENGTH OF A WOMAN, AND THE SOUL OF A WOMAN IS NEVER DESTROYED!
Yes, yes women stand up honor yourself, clap for your self, praise your self, dance with yourself, because you are worth it and you are the giver of life. Only in a woman's womb can another human grow indiscriminately. Without us there would be no life. Without us this world would be ugly!
A Lion is the king of the jungle yet he bows for his queen! Men should be thrown in the jungle to learn from the lion on how to treat women as queens or be eaten!
Women we should learn to be brave like lionesses and demand to be treated like Queens or else. We know the value of our sexuality and we know who the real weaker sex is?*wink*
God bless the women of this world and the gender sensitive men.
Thank you very much Ambassador Lucy Mashua Sharp Global Ambassador for fighting FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION, and standing up for Women's rights.
President of Mashua voice for the voiceless. intl.inc At University of Oxford London March 7th 2015 read by Dr Tobe Levin on behalf of Me.
