"Why do our vaginas need new names?
In our various languages in Malawi, the word vagina is taboo;
Nyini
Bumbu
Bwetete
Do any of these sound good? Any suggestions? Duwa...ka duwa."

"...It is the cloth of mourning...chitenje...not black... Just chitenje...
Chitenje...The most politicised piece of clothing in Malawi...a good woman wears it around her waist...
Chitenje is the uniform of our oppression..."

" A cloth is not just a cloth. It& #39;s a statement of decorum...chitenje is the standard of modesty which we are supposed to conform..." @cherrynicely
