International day for the elimination of violence against women ...

That is today and I want to take this opportunity to invite all women here and all those (so basically everyone) who have an important woman in their lives to take some time to learn about violence against women and all the different types that unfortunately are.

 

Some of us at a point have thought violence is only the one that involves physical abuse which is so wrong so here's some links that may be useful to learn more on the topic.

And to all the women reading this, even if you don't need this information for yourself, it maybe helpful for someone you know or even to avoid ever needing it.

I'm learning about this in a class I'm taking and strongly support the mission to end violence against women. It's a pretty serious problem that doesn't get as much coverage as it should in our society.
