My heart goes out to anyone who finds themselves in such a situation. Many would leave, but like you mentioned fear, shame, not knowing where to turn. may God's Angels keep these women safe and give them the strength they need to change the course of their lives.<br /><br />I see you are also a Coco Chanel fan! she is among my inspiring women!! and you have a wonderful group of grandchildren. My mother just became a grandmother - my brother and his wife were blessed with little darling last July... they certainly bring wonderful joy!!

New legislation can only do so much, women need to feel empowered with a sense of their own worth, and to know that if the need arises help is at hand. In this day and age the back up system to help abused women ( and very often their children) is still woefully inadequate.Susan Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08256333437509563721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325676890267449666.post-8438320464562828482012-01-09T20:13:24.383-06:002012-01-09T20:13:24.383-06:00I read an article by Patrick Stewart of Startrek a...I read an article by Patrick Stewart of Startrek and X-Men fame..he as a child witnessed his fathers abuse against his mother all too often...it takes courage for someone like him (or anyone) to address these issues and shine a light on it...talking about it is the first step...<br />thank-you Kris for being willing to talk about this sad, sad subject...<br />best,<br />maureenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325676890267449666.post-5944143254406684772012-01-09T20:05:05.375-06:002012-01-09T20:05:05.375-06:00My heart aches for these women!

Here in Europe, the statistics are equally as frightening:<br /><br />• Up to six out of every ten women experience physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime. <br /><br />• Domestic violence is the biggest cause of injury and death to women around the globe, killing more women aged 15-44 than cancer, traffic accidents and war. [UN statistics].<br /><br />• In France, every two hours a woman gets raped, but this number could be higher since not all victims report to the police [Le Figaro, 2011]. <br /><br />• According to official statistics from the Service des droits des femmes et de l’égalité, 140 women died in 2009 in France, victims of domestic violence, every 2.5 days a woman dies from violent behaviors. <br /><br />These stats make me shudder.<br /><br />You're off to a really powerful start in your new direction, Kris!

It must be part of our conversation as women. Knowledge is power.<br /><br /> Thanks for posting Kris!decor8https://www.blogger.com/profile/03829955980395886794noreply@blogger.com
