“I’d rather cry in a private jet than in a cab.” This idea trended in Cameroon & Nigeria. But let’s pause. Is luxury really a consolation for pain? PC: freepik

Gender-based violence is unacceptable. No matter your zip code, bank balance, or car brand — no one should endure abuse. Not women. Not men. Not children. Let’s stop glamorizing suffering. The goal isn’t to cry in comfort — it’s to not be crying at all.

Why are we normalizing suffering as long as it’s wrapped in wealth? Pain in silk is still pain.

No — it’s not better to cry in a jet than a taxi. The real issue isn’t the vehicle. It’s the tears.

On this International Day of the Girl Child, let’s celebrate the spirit of every girl and be the society that values her voice, dreams and potentials. Thanks for being intentional about valuing girls and children in Cameroon @UKinCameroon
