Reflective piece

‘The gold that glitters in her’

Life is a right

Fair treatment is too

It’s a choice and none should be

Forced into it

She must give in willingly

Oh! Sexual violence!

Your effects are enormous

Psychologically, she feels the pain

Socially she feels the pain

Oh! Sexual Violence!

Many girls are vulnerable

To the wrath of perpetrators

They have no feelings

They have robbers

Stealing the gold that glitters in her

It is right

It’s her Choice

It is for her to decide

Whether or not to give it out

She should not be forced
