Stop harming girls, mothers without proof

MY soul is crushed every time I see the daily news with stories of women suffering at the hands of men who are supposed to protect them.
Our cultural practices and beliefs have shadowed our views about change in society.
We are failing to adapt to change.
Our beliefs sometimes make us forget that there are other causes of death apart from sorcery.
Humans are not invincible, they die at some point in their lives.
Most of us stand and just watch our sisters and mothers being tortured.
Some of the horrors they endure takes a lifetime to forget.
How can we know that they are evil witches when she falls face first on the ground with a crowbar struck against her temple. If they were really witches, they would have vanished, wouldn’t they?
It is time for all to work in unity and put an end to this barbaric act which questions our reputation as a Christian country.
We are Christians living under the skins of beast who are pleasured by tear destruction of our own people just because of a conviction that cannot be proven.
We are a loving race of people.
Let’s end this madness.
