Birthing Resistance
This article explores the themes of ethical decision-making, discomfort and adaptability through an Afro-feminist, Womanist and intersectional reading of Exodus 1:15–22, the narrative of the Hebrew midwives, Shiphrah and Puah. In the face of Pharaoh’s genocidal decree, these women exercise moral defiance, strategic resistance and adaptive agency, embodying principles central to African and Black feminist traditions. Their refusal to comply with s…

Unfortunately, it is heartbreaking to note how the murder of women finds justification, as shown in Ju…

Alcohol consumption among young men begins at an increasingly early age due to availability of low-priced alcohol presented in different varieties. Young, beautiful and sexy girls are used to advertise alcohol. Many young men are addicted to alcohol and totally unable to be free from alcohol addiction. This sad state co…
