We say No more

THis morning there was a Walk Against Violence in conjunction with World Women's Day 2007. One of my lecturers informed me about it, and last minute i made the decision to go. I'm always torn when it comes to events that are on Sunday mornings, cause it'll mean missing church, yet i really really wanted to go for this. So did both, go for the walk and went for EPCC's service which was at 11am.


The walk was at QueensBay Mall, 8am.

















Turns out some people have been so messed up by violence they cant even spell it right ...



































I thought this was a very interesting banner:

















We walked from the Mall up to the round=a-bout and back, chanting slogans at different intervals...
















In front of us were musicians playing traditional and self made instruments, super cool and it actually sounded really groovy.




















There were some posers that kept complaining about the heat and only knew how to pose for the cameras...


















There was also a banner/sign competition, to see who came up with the best

















This was my fav. Especially since the lil dude looked so adorable trying to put it on.





















They actually had a counter where you could make one yourself on the spot, so this was mine:

















Rogol! Ragut !
Cukup! Cukup! Cukup!
Rogol! Ragut!
Sudah! Sudah! Sudah!

What do we want?
Stop the violence!
When do we want it?
NOW!
