The Fight To End Violence Against Women Goes On 365 Days A Year
On International Womens Day, it is a good time for men to talk to other men about the ongoing campaign by men to end violence against women.
I was fortunate and grew up in a home that was free from violence. I remember a male friend telling me about the terror of growing up in a home where there was violence by his father against his mother. It has affected him throughout his entire adult life.
Violence is primitive. Violence is intolerable. Every man has a duty to speak out against violence against women; in all nations, in all cultures.

Kudos to you. This is an issue that does not get discussed nearly enough. Men need to talk to other men about domestic violence.

Thanks Mike! I believe that all men have a responsibility to talk about this with other men. All men should have a zero tolerence level for this.

How about the violence depicted in ads?? Have you seen the Dolce&Garbanna photo that shows a stylized gang-rape??
