She has no voice.
She is raped
at the hands of anyone.
She has no face.
She is disfigured
at the hands of her husband.
She has no future.
She is dying
at the hands of violence.

Yes, Lori, you speak sad, but very truthful thoughts. I  wonder if it will ever change.

There is a movement starting to bring awareness, to give them a voice...~L

Sadly true, dear Lori. Too many victims!! But by not reacting with silence something can be done to help them. Huge amounts of awareness and evolution in human respect are needed to change things.

Love,
Margherita

Unfortunately in the Middle Eastern culture and the nature of war rape and violence on women is historic. ~L
