crime and violence

25th November – International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
If you, man, think you can think better than any woman ; if you think you can hit me , just because; If you think I’m yours ; if you think you can call me Dumb for I do not know how to park my car or do the washing up ; if you beat me, and push me, and kick me, and ..look down on me because it’s…me; if you think I’m more “ woman “ just if I seduce, or dress in mini-skirts, or …you think I’m just a whore if I do that ; if you shout at me and demand, never ask, and force me to do what I do not want ; if you drag me…to feel stupid when I know I’m not ; if you make up my face in black and blue…and then you cry and swear it will never happen again ; if you ever crash my friend once more against the wall; if you ever touch my child with filthy hands …or cross his face with a huge slap ; If you ever promised not to break my heart…but broke my arm; if you ever thought I’m less than you… You shouldn’t be called a Man.
