Young Women and Safety

Hi,everyone the topic is very important because we are talking about our selves women are very important people in the community and there safety should be highly looked on. young women are taken advantage by men raping being a mother at a tender age then you are left to take care of the baby alone, as a young woman you cant go anywhere alone at night because you are not safe also you cant have fun without an escort to make sure you reached home safely.we should punish those people who make young women life miserable.women take great care of yourselves.

hi everyone is again another monday but too bad coz we are finishing today this serssion but hope we will keep in touch. as today’s topic suggest women and safety. first we all need safety in order to live in this world. but we women we are the ones who need it very much coz in most cases we are the ones who suffer the consequinces in case we happen to do anything bad or erelevant. As for example if awoman/lady happens to get married at a early age most of them usually regret in the future, and you will hear them advicing you never to get married in the future coz you will regret but they are forgeting that it was all their fault coz they did’nt think first when they where acting and that is why they are regreting and didnt play safe when they had there time to think. so please we should all try to our level best to always play safe and avoid this things that can be avoided so that we wont regret for the things that we can all avoid. then in most cases we find that women/ladies incase we happen to do amistake no matter how coincedence it was we are the ones who always face/suffer the consequences. so pliz lets all play safe and not take things for granted coz we do have still a long happy life ahead of us and lets enjoy life when we are still young.and always to be happy coz as they say before the day ends we should always make sure we are happy and we have make someone alse happy

Young Women and Safety

When I think of this topic it kinda scares me because then I have to think of how many times as a young woman I am vulnerable. Especially in this day and age. Once 8pm reaches I need to find someone to accompany me home. Even during the day young women in Kenya are not safe. Take for instance when you wake up n decide what you wanna wear..you have to think twice may be because of where you are going. Sometimes even if you are “well dressed"(I think this is relative) men have nasty comments to throw at you. When you want to go out dancing most of the time you need to make sure you have a guy friend with you just to make sure you feel safer.

The police who are “Matumizi Kwa Wote” also play a major role when I think of my safety. I always think twice before I ask for assistance because they are also perpetrators of violence. I would really like to hear some of your experiences and thoughts around insecurity for young women. We can also share some tips on making our lives safer!
