Kingston, Jamaica: Womanbition celebrates March, not just as International Women's Day, but a month where we are appealing to all women starting in Jamaica to come together and take a stand against crime and violence against our women and children.
Furthermore, this appeal comes in the wake of the murder of 20-year-old Accounting Clerk Khanice Jackson, missing 13-year-old Camperdown High School student Lameka Lamount since March 26, 2021, and visually impaired student Jasmine Dean who is still missing.
"Enough is enough; if our men can't protect us, if our government can't protect us, we MUST protect ourselves by whatever means necessary. We are the mothers, the caregivers, the sisters, the wives, the women who feel the pain from giving birth to burying in the dirt!"
These sentiments were uttered by an outraged mother who herself had been a victim of abuse. It is alarming to see that as women are being celebrated, they are also being killed. With this years' Women's Day theme "Choose To Challenge", Womanbition have chosen to challenge crime and violence, rape and any other form of abuse directed at women and children. We dare to do so through organized activism, awareness and standing up for justice.
Let all women stand in solidarity islandwide and let it resonate worldwide in the name of ending atrocities being carried out on our women and children!
On March 31, 2021, beginning at 6 am to 6 pm, we use social media or traditional media to Say NO TO RAPE, MURDER & ANY ABUSE TOWARDS OUR WOMEN & CHILDREN -During the same time, let us offer our solutions to this EPIDEMIC islandwide and globally.
Let the world know that if it does not end, Women will be forced to defend themselves in ways they have never done before!
Womanbition is led by Emprezz Golding, Keteis Oyonde and Denise 'Isis' Miller
