Men And Women Pose Nude In #MyBodyMyTerms Campaign

By -
“My body. My terms,” is a slogan of a campaign aimed at combating sexual violence, victim blaming and rising awareness among victims of abuse around the world.
New Zealand media company Villainesse  has launched  campaign to start a global conversation about sexual violence and the importance of consent.
“I respect myself and I deserve to be respected.”
The video called to hit back at society’s understanding of sexual abuse shows undressed men and women with the words “My body, my terms” written on different parts of their bodies.
“My choice of clothing is not an invitation to assault or rape me.”
They tell their own stories or just state personal opinions about sexuality, consent, revenge porn and rape culture. They also remind everyone that it’s only your right to decide what you do or do not do with your bodies.
“Having safe, consensual sex doesn’t make me a slut.”
“I respect myself and I deserve to be respected.” “Having safe, consensual sex doesn’t make me a slut.” “My choice of clothing is not an invitation to assault or rape me.” “If she chooses to drink alcohol it doesn’t make her responsible for the criminal actions of others.”
“If she chooses to drink alcohol it doesn’t make her responsible for the criminal actions of others.”
Lizzie Marvelly, Villainesse editor and creator of #MyBodyMyTerms, said: “I think that it’s really important that we talk openly about these issues. If we can start to remove some of the taboos around these controversial subjects, hopefully we can create a space for open and honest discussion.”

Perhaps Jonathan learnt that a little late.  Perhaps Obasanjo has got away too many times with an exaggerated sense of self importance. Buhari and Obasanjo When  Obasanjo  pulsates with  ego he deems it  righteous anger. He breaks rules, and mends them. He tramples on principles and trashes them.  They are not meant for him. Hypocrisy relieves him of many moral burdens ordinary men suffer. He  likes the limelight. He doesn’t like to be ignored. He wants President Buhari out. President Buhari benefited from his support three years ago.  Obasanjo feels righteous indignation against a bumbling  ingrate. He  perhaps believes he handed Buhari the presidency.  Obasanjo always overestimates himself. He once thought we would wan...

And I am Like... Until corruption, mass corruption, massive corruption is dealt with at the Police level, every other fight against corruption is window dressing. What do you call this? a kiosk on the highway? a supermarket? a toll gate? With all that illicit cash flowing from his pockets how can this policeman in all good conscience arrest another fellow for stealing, extortion or embezzlement? How?
