Today marks the UN’s International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and the start of 16 Days of Activism.
Organisations like Refuge, Women’s Aid and ‘Take Back the Tech’ are all doing their bit and I don’t want to be left out.

As I have recently published a novel about the horrors of domestic violence against women and children (which is common both in the developed and developing world), I thought it would be fitting to offer an autographed copy of Egg-Larva-Pupa-Woman in honour of the great cause.

I’ll get the ball rolling…
“Domestic Violence must stop because… it is inhuman!”
Domestic Violence must stop because… it is killing our future!
Because… what goes around comes around.
Because… it isn’t fair!
Because… it doesn’t make sense.
Domestic Violence against Women must stop because…no one deserves to be treated that way…
Domestic Violence against Women must stop because… women have rights too. They should be treated with care!
Domestic Violence against Women must stop because… women deserve a life free of violence.
Domestic Violence against Women must stop because… no one deserves to be treated that way – no matter who they are.
Domestic Violence against Women must stop because… it’s so wrong. Abusers should be prosecuted… Victims should be given justice.
Domestic Violence against Women must stop because… women are also human and should be treated equally.
Domestic Violence must stop because… we’ve had enough!
Very amusing question.
@ SikunPavel: Enlighten me.
Domestic Violence against Woman WILL stop, with open eyes and open minds and good structured information we can STOP violence with love and optimism and information.
I want to quote your post in my blog. Can I?
And have you got an account on Twitter?
Domestic violence against women must stop because the fairer sex have the right to live and a right to make a living. Women are much more important because they are the manufacturers of the human race (with the help of men, of course). Womankind is the hope of our future.
It must stop because it’s evil. Because too many see those kinds of relationships as their only options. Because everyone has a right to feel safe.
I interned for Girls Inc, so I feel very strongly about ending Violence against women. At the very least, we need to teach young girls how to avoid bad relationships and that it is ok to get help.
Thanks for all your comments, everyone!
