WIL Uganda: Suffering! Misery! Blame!

Being a woman is all about suffering!!
Sincerely, it is really difficult to be a woman.
Women are always discriminated against in this society.
How miserable it is to be a woman.

Being a woman is full of misery!!
Surely, it is difficult being a woman.
Always taken as people of the lower level,
How women do suffer.

Being a woman is full of blame!!
Always tortured by the husband whenever he comes home angry,
Always denied their rights and freedom of speech.
Oh! Don’t blame me for being a woman.
