• For every woman and girl violently attacked, we reduce our humanity. For every woman forced into unprotected sex because men demand this, we destroy dignity and pride. Every woman who has to sell her life for sex we condemn to a lifetime in prison. For every moment we remain silent, we conspire against our women. For every woman infected by HIV, we destroy a generation.

• O love, whose lordly hand
  Has bridled my desires,
  And raised my hunger and my thirst
  To dignity and pride,
  Let not the strong in me and the constant
  Eat the bread or drink the wine
  That tempt my weaker self.
  Let me rather starve,
  And let my heart parch with thirst,
  And let me die and perish,
  Ere I stretch my hand
  To a cup you did not fill,
  Or a bowl you did not bless.

  Khalil Gibran
