ALERT! RAPIST!!






ANN ZULU writes 


The Rape culture in our Zambian society is becoming too extreme and we can no longer afford to ignore it or sweep it under the carpet - that is what got us here anyway.


Rapist


We need massive sensitization of our society, both online, offline, in schools, worship places, market places, work places, in cities, towns and rural communities.



The Government, the media, non governmental organizations, religious and academic institutions has a lot of role to play in reforming our society, to make it sane and safe for all, and for our future children.



There is absolutely no doubt that many parents of past generations failed their sons woefully by not teaching them the right values, especially where it concerns females and their bodies, consent, domestic chores, empathy, discipline, self control, anger management, their roles as husbands and fathers, equality of all humans- irrespective of gender...

The list is endless.



Please parents of this generation do not make the same mistakes. You must task yourselves to do better.  That is to raise boys right, not to neglect their mental and emotional well-being,

to teach them the right values - not the usual "you are a man and superior, and money is a man's pride" teachings that has caused so much irreparable damages.



The change we want begins with each and every one of us. It begins with the values we each both girls and boys. It begins with holding each other accountable. It should not be business as usual people. All hands has to be on deck if we want to get this right. Let's start taking actions now, please.



This foolish boy in the picture had the audacity to post in his University group chat about indulging in rape. The fact that his campus knew and no one batted an eye is heartbreaking. His name is JEFFREY, a student from the Copperbelt University (CBU).
