Today marks the International Day to End Violence Against Women
1 in 3 women globally, and 1 in 4 young women, experience physical or sexual violence, mostly by an intimate partner. This is a crime. If you see something, say something—you just may save a life.
Words laced with malice hurling
Fingers interlacing
Balled-up fists pounding
Cowering
Shaking
Body convulsing
He finally broke her
Thank you for journeying along!

Yes indeed Ken. The increase in violence in our society, and especially against women and girls, is a scourge of pandemic proportions. It’s not acceptable and it’s preventable. Thanks for engaging with this post.
