Domestic Violence is a major issue around the world. Many people suffer from this inhuman act and a lot of them are too scared to stand up for themselves. Some continue to endure the pain while the lucky ones are set free.
This video made me more aware of the current issue and it has really come to my attention that people (most especially women) are in need of help. You might ask "How can we help if they can't help themselves?" Isn't that the point? How can they escape from their offender's clutches without getting hurt? They need help. They need someone to allow them to flee such a life. They've done what they can by telling their story, it's up to us to help them.
This is a very big issue which should be addressed and eradicated. We need to put a stop to this madness and let human rights prevail. Being aware of this issue is a big help and putting this knowledge into action by reporting any act of domestic violence helps save lives. I wanted to make a post about this because I believe that social issues such as this need to be solved immediately. Yes, there may be bigger issues at hand but they should not overshadow the fact that a lot of people are suffering because of this.
If I could as you guys a favor by tweeting this video with a hashtag of #dontcoveritup / #notodomesticviolence / #speakup. Let's make others aware of this problem.
