For the current women’s rights movement to have long-term success, we believe we need to focus our attention on ordinary women, not just on celebrities and on those active on social media. We made this video with the help of 14 women who answered our online advert and believed in our message.

Lyrics:

This is not how she thought her life would turn out to be
As a single mother with three mouths to feed
Always counting pennies, making only ends meet
And If she lost her job, she‘d be out on the street

And her boss know much how she needs this job
Cos out of bad options it’s the best she’s got
So he knows he can treat her exactly how he wants
Always using the threat of giving her the chop

He abuses his power, exploits the situation
Knowing that she‘ll tolerate the humiliation
The breathing down her neck, the constant advances
The comments, the touching the staring the glances

But what can she what to do, she just doesn't  know yet
Theres no hr, no proper complaints process
She cant afford to make a black dress protest
The world may be changing but she doesn't see the progress

We don’t hear the voices
Of those who cannot speak
Those who don’t have choices
Doesn't mean that they are weak

If we want to improve things 
The direction of this movement
Must be from the ground up, not top down


When she first met her husband he seemed gentle and kind
But, love is blind and she misread the signs
She didn’t see this violent, terrible side
of this dark man, this Jekyll and Hyde

His controlling behaviour stemmed from jealousy,
and then led to his violent tendency
followed by begging and pleading for clemency
and the cycle would continue, repeating endlessly

and he tried his best to keep her isolated
cut off from her family and friends who he hated
every time she left the house shed get interrogated
and knocked about if she ever disobeyed him

so when on he found one day her chatting online
her put her in a coma for a very long time
he smashed up her laptop and smashed up her phone
to make sure that she‘ll forever be alone


Chorus

Tomorrow morning she‘ll be taking the stand
and putting herself face to face with the man
who‘s carved a massive scar on her life
that will never heal no matter how hard she tries

but as she’s grown older, she’s grown in strength
she’s got daughters now, herself to protect
And if he's still out there, if nothing gets said
then somebody’s daughter somewhere would be next

so she forced herself to go and report him
Worried if her family would believe the story
worried the police might need to explore it
And she'd  have to tell it to a judge and jury

but she‘s bearing the burden alone on her shoulders
with the courage and strength of ten soldiers
You won't hear of many people much braver
But you’ll never see her name or her picture in the paper
