No woman has to be a victim of physical abuse. Women have to feel like they are not alone.
There is a subconscious way of taking violence as a way of expression, as a normality, and it has a lot of effects in the youth in the way they absorb education and what they hope to get out of life.

Your unwavering support for the Violence Against Women Act on behalf of the victims of these crimes has made an enormous difference, Senators Specter and Biden, ... Your courageous efforts to take on these terrible crimes have put trained police officers in communities that need them.
This is not love. It is a crime... You can't look the other way just because you have not experienced domestic violence with your own flesh.
