All we can do is be cynical and pull issues straight out of the hat.The achievement is not about discussing the issue butabout finding the root cause of the evil and working to exterminate it. Patriarch exists when we let it exist.Women have to revamp their mind set and ways of responding to things.Being in the medical field myself,I have come across so many women who still have a gender bias and feel blessed if they deliver male progeny. This seed of male superiority was created ages ago but we still follow it.
How can we complain about the status of women if we don't stand up for ourselves. We need to be the change to see the change.
Domestic violence is embarrassing. I think that people are ashamed and moreover scared to confess that violence concerns them. What’s a way to encourage them to do that?
And definitely, I agree that not only children and not only women are victims of domestic violence…
