The film continues with the story of the market women from the prequel, Wives on Strike, who are now battling against domestic abuse after one of them is killed by her husband, which prompts another strike by the women against their husbands.[4] With their rallying call; "want some sex?", then speak up against domestic violence, the women were able to force the hands of their husbands to stand up for what is right and curb domestic violence.[5] [3]
