No One Has Dominion Over Another Person

Hey friends! In today's episode, I am talking to you about "No One Has Dominion Over Another Person" every woman and man have their God-given right to make decisions that keep them safe and strip them of their power. In the first book of Genesis 1:26, God gave man dominion over the earth and every creeping that creepeth on the ground, the birds of the air and fishes in the sea.

The description in Genesis 1:26 has been misinterpreted by men of the cloth to make women feel inferior to men. However, it has never been God's intention when he placed man in a deep sleep, took a rib of his side, and created him a helpmeet. When the man awoke from his deep sleep and the woman was presented to him, Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called woman because she was taken out of Man Genesis 2:23.

It bleeds my heart to know that some men do not see women as equals. They seem to think it is their right to beat and kill women. My body ached when I heard that six women in one week in Milwaukee county in the United States were shot in some cases by their husbands and ex-partners. The murder of women has to stop.

Twenty-five years ago, I walked away from an abusive relationship to give myself the greatest gift that is the gift of "life." I thought it wasn't a pleasant situation to be in then! Never in my wildest dream did I think it would develop into an epidemic.

According to the United Nations, the worst place for a woman is in her home. One hundred and 137 worldwide are killed by someone they know. The United Nations further states every 15 minutes. A woman is being murdered in their home. The home should be her castle; now, if a woman can't be safe in their home, where can they feel safe? Life is precious; every life is essential. We all have to come together and stop this epidemic.

According to an article in The Guardian written by Julie Bindel titled A war on women is raging in the UK- the femicide statistics prove it. Based on a census, the report states that 139 women died in the UK. When I consider the statistic released by the UN and the Census conducted in the UK, it tells me the number of women losing their lives worldwide is much higher than stated.
