Sierra D. Waters
“Today I wore a pair of faded old jeans and a plain grey baggy shirt. I hadn't even taken a shower, and I did not put on an ounce of makeup. I grabbed a worn out black oversized jacket to cover myself with even though it is warm outside. I have made conscious decisions lately to look like less of what I felt a male would want to see. I want to disappear.”
Sierra D. Waters, Debbie.

“It is not a single crime when a child is photographed while sexually assaulted (raped.) It is a life time crime that should have life time punishments attached to it. If the surviving child is, more often than not, going to suffer for life for the crime(s) committed against them, shouldn't the pedophiles suffer just as long? If it often takes decades for survivors to come to terms with exactly how much damage was caused to them, why are there time limits for prosecution?”
Sierra D. Waters, Debbie.

Sunday Adelaja, The Mountain of Ignorance

Abhijit Naskar
“Lawmakers, who rarely have an insight of a truly progressive and civilized society, decide on the perimeters of law based on their biases and knacks, and rarely on actual scientific evidence. It's like asking the blind to show the path. So, for law to be of actual use in the society at our current evolutionary stage, it must be cooked in the vessel of scientific findings with the fire of reasoning and compassion.”
Abhijit Naskar, Fabric of Humanity

Ehsan Sehgal
“Indeed, the lawmakers constitute the law; however, the law overcomes and regulates all institutions of the state, and even lawmakers stay themselves under that as well.”
Ehsan Sehgal

Abhijit Naskar
“If a government is born of merit and character, they would not need pressure from humanitarians and activists to reform its out-of-date policies - they would do it on their own, because they are accountable.”

“Politicians and police are not the makers and keepers of law, the people are.”

“As long as law defends the people against inhumanity, it may be entitled to the approval of the people, but the moment it turns against people, whether willingly or driven by subconscious biases, then it is the duty of the people to stand up with unarmed, nonviolent determination and fire such lawkeepers and lawmakers.”
