The kind of things people call love in Africa is really disturbing. How can someone you love feel okay doing that to you?
Femicide is on the increase.
According to the UN, Africa recorded the highest rates of intimate partner-related femicide in 2023 and 2024.
An estimated 85,000 women and girls were intentionally killed worldwide by a husband, boyfriend or lover in 2023.
This is why a lot of women are saying they don't want marriage. They want to stay alive.
"Africa Doesn't Need the World Bank, IMF, Europe, or America. We have what it takes to grow our economy without loans and refuse to be financial slaves." ~ Ibrahim Traore (President of Burkina Faso)
