“We need to teach men that a woman’s body is hers and hers alone” – Burna Boy speaks on rape
Self acclaimed African Giant, Burna Boy has finally lent his voice towards the fight against rape and racism.
Burna Boy shared his thoughts on the possible way we could handle the increasing number of rape and racial injustice. He stressed that men need to taught more about ‘consent’. In his words, he said,
“ Rape and racial injustice are crimes against humanity, they are vicious, insidious and violent acts that no human should commit or commend.
The stance on rape should be linear and final, there should be no grey areas, no “buts”, only that the perpetrator(s) of the act is to blame and the victim completely blameless.
From now on, men and women alike need to be educated. Men need to be taught the concept of consent, we need to teach them empathy and compassion. We need to teach men that a woman’s body is hers and hers alone. We need to end stigmatisation and victimization of rape victims, it must STOP.
“Black people deserve and require more than we’re currently getting! I implore you all to get involved, no contribution is too small, no platform is too small.”
