    Please stop killing us - Sadhana Smiles

    Please stop killing us - Sadhana Smiles

    A young women was killed in an unprovoked attack in Perth yesterday (17/3) while walking with her family members. Her name was Melanie Kizenga and she was just 22! Everyone should be able to walk safely in our streets.

    I wrote this piece last week and sent it to a few of my tribe, who all said I should publish it. It is a call out for the safety of women, for men to step up, for there to be a collective rage on how many women are killed.

    I dont know what the answers are however I do believe that our voices can be louder than what they are.
