Nov. 25 is Intl Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women

The United Nations has designated November 25 as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and encourages individuals and organizations worldwide on this day to raise public awareness of this global problem.

I am here to do my part. And this year, to that end, I point you to the Violence Against Women section of the website of Amnesty International USA. There you can read some of AI's reports on violence against women here in the U.S. and around the world, and take action on current issues.

It's worth checking out. After all, with a little less luck, these cases could involve your own mother, daughter, sister, or wife.
