this is something that deserves our consideration...

What is this aspect of humanity?

What illness pervades in our world that allows for this to exist?

How may we heal this disease of society

that has produced

such a horrorific reality?

Violence against women is the most common but least punished crime in the world.

Globally, women between the age of fifteen and forty-four are more likely to be maimed or die as a result of male violence than through cancer, malaria, traffic accidents or war combined.







At least one out of every three women has been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused in her lifetime. Usually, the abuser is a member of her own family or someone known to her. Domestic violence is the largest form of abuse of women worldwide, irrespective of region, culture, ethnicity, education, class and religion.



What can we do to end this manifestation?
