Amazing show of solidarity from those who care for the most vulnerable.
The political ‘leaders’ do not speak for the people.

Built their hopes up,
only to crush them.Thinking of all the dreams that have been shattered, AGAIN.Thinking of the student we met earlier, who cried and cried as she talked about the darkness that now surrounds her. Also, womens rights are human rights. Not a secondary issue.
