Raising Awareness about Violence against
Women
Violence against women is an issue that crosses all ethnic, cultural, and class boundaries and it is our collective responsibility to see that such violent behaviors become socially unacceptable. In the words of novelist Ursula K. Le Guin, "Having intelligence, we must not act in ignorance. Having choice, we must not act without responsibility."
