"The courage to step out will gain you support, maybe not from your direct friends and family, but from other people who have been going through the same things." - @ShishaniV Read more on what the Namibian singer learnt about being true to yourself at bit.ly/2DbL8w2.

Every #2ndsaturday I will celebrate a video by a local music maker that has really touched my heart. We acknowledge how @ShishaniV is one of the top creatives of Namibia, spreading life changing messages through her work. youtu.be/zAUh82NC3gI

The problem with the youth is the elders who have failed for decades to set a good example.

Guys they’re ditching Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) in Namibia be cause according to them it promotes abortion and drive to legalize homosexuality! Basically our leaders are against Bodily Autonomy AND they are homophobic! Disgusting 🤢 #LegalizeAbortionNA #LGBTQRights

Stop always relying on certain activists to do everything for you! If you want to start a movement or push an agenda do it! This hyper criticism is unfair. You also have a voice, use it! You also have power, yield it!

I wrote about the #ShutItAllDownNamibia Movement for @AfriFeminists edited by @RosebellK. “Shut it down, shut it all down because nowhere seems to be safe for Namibian girls, women and gender diverse persons.” Read more here: africanfeminism.com/no-longer-safe…

I’m home and I’m safe. Thank you for all the well wishes. I appreciate you all. Being beaten, dragged, shoved and arrested today made me realize how far I’m willing to go for the cause. I will not be intimidated. #ShutItAllDown #ShutItAllDownNamibia

“I’m 16 years old and today I had to go leave my house to go and protest (against SGBV), and protect (girls, women and gender diverse persons), something that you (Namibian police) couldn’t do, that is your job” 💔💔💔 #ShutItAllDown #ShutItAllDownNamibia

Good morning to all the brave & courageous young women who have been taking a stand against Femicide, Sexual & Gender Based Violence & Police Brutality in Namibia. We see you, we love you, we appreciate you, we stand with you. Pls remember to practice self-care, you deserve it ✨

Hi @Judicaelle_ There are protests happening on femicide and SGBV (sexual and gender based violence) in Namibia under the hashtag #ShutItAllDown. It would be amazing if you could please amplify them.

Just posted a photo @ Namibia instagram.com/p/CGFIxAJgrgM/…

Almost impossible to live in Namibia without depression & anxiety robbing you of your emotional well-being! How can our minds and hearts rest easy in a country where violence, discrimination, disrespect and slut-shaming for being an autonomous being is rampant? #ShutItAllDown

Let me try help: Sexual activity, whether by choice or co-ercion, without the use of effective contraceptives is the “root cause” of unintended pregnancy. The decision to remain pregnant, or not, is about reproductive autonomy. Saying women seek abortion “for fun” is gaslighting.

At times it’s about the right thing to do, although it may not be a popular decision. Many didn’t like the abolition of the death penalty, but it was done, & justly so. There’ll be no national consensus on legalising abortion either, but the hour has come to do it regardless.
