A familiar song produced in 1983 and taught in schools around the world as part of a sexual abuse prevention programme, has been given a reboot to raise funds to fight the second pandemic – women abuse in South Africa.
‘My Body’ samples a song by educational psychologist Peter Alsop, and teaches themes such as consent and boundaries. The new track features artists including Lira, Juliet Harding from GoodLuck, Mariechan, who rose to fame as one third of the girl group, Jamali, and Gigi LaMayne. All funds raised from the download of My Body will be donated to the 1st for Women Foundation for its ongoing fight to end woman abuse.
According to Casey Rousseau from 1st for Women Insurance: “We’ve breathed new life into My Body as an inspirational, edutainment anthem with a strong call to action. Music has the ability to change attitudes and beliefs. The song encourages women to rise up, walk hand in hand and speak out against women abuse. It reminds men and boys to do the same and put women first – no means no.”
