Often times, when I least expect it, I get flooded with those questions that I have an inability to answer and they haunt me.
More often than not, those questions have to do with my mission…to end gender violence.
Some of the niggling questions have to do with the relationships between men and women and why women continue to accept abuse and why men continue to think they have the right to abuse.
In my work, my passion for ending Gender Violence, Intimate Partner Violence and Violence against Children, I have more questions than answers.
All the questions begin with WHY?
WHY would a grown man rape a child?
WHY would educated women stay in abusive relationships?
WHY would a mother-in-law abuse her daughter-in-law?
WHY is society still pretending that this is a problem for “others”?
The WHEN question is …
WHEN is enough enough?
WHEN will CEO’s investigate their managers for domestic violence before hiring them?
WHAT can YOU do?
You can begin by eradicating violence in YOUR home and community.
Here are some classes to help get you started, pass this link around to EVERYONE you know.

NO ONE is immune to be on the receiving end of violence.

Indrani
