bride price: still on it....

There's was a commentary on Capital FM over the weekend from the Centre For Rights, Education and Awareness, canmpaigning to abolish this primitive tradition, those like minded can get in touch with the centre and also shout the loudest against it everywhere. What I believe is that it starts with me and you, no waiting for our kids generations or any later. say no to unwanted rip-off's, say no to traditions which make somebody someone elses's property.
Its also true that this is the biggest reason why gender violence can not be eradicated in our midst, men claim that since they pay so much a price for the women, then they become his property, and thus have a right to punish his property - dude, this is the 21st century for crying out loud!!!!
