I see what you are saying. I don't recall exactly what was going on when I first did this thread. Yes, my own back yard is a mess.
What I often have problems with here in the US is a US-centric outlook about violence against women- not much awareness of how globally, women are treated. That we need to look at all of the issues and cultural variables around the world that women face. That is what I was trying to get at. Believe me, I get what continues here in the US.
