🐝 Domestic violence is an issue worldwide. Not a single land is free from violence against others. Those who perpetrate the violence do it to those with who they are closest.
🦉 It speaks loudly of our social norms and cultural beliefs. Each land has slightly different belief systems, cultural rules and paradigms. There are, however, some similarities that condone violence against those we hold closest.
🌼 Domestic violence is systemic due to power differences between people. While some people are feeling disempowered, other people are being disempowered and oppressed. It leads to a deadly combination. Domestic violence can kill. When it doesn't kill the body, it leaves scars carried for life in the mind, body and ability to connect to one's spirit.
🌟 We all must take actions- big or small to end violence. Our actions (or lack of action) either dispel domestic violence or condone it (implicitly or explicitly). The most important thing is being consistent in the change
