The Violence Against Women Act

For centuries violence has been used to control women.   Women still are considered property to be used for the benefit of man.  Women have been beaten, whipped, raped and generally brutalized.  There is not a country in the world where women have not been mistreated.  The cruelty has gone on for year and year after year.  Every day in this country a woman is murdered.  She is murdered because she wants a divorce.  She is murdered because her husband comes home angry and she is murdered because she speaks up for herself.  Young women are being brought into this country and sold to hundreds and hundreds of men over and over again to be used sexually.    These young women are forced to perform unspeakable sexual acts just so a man can make money.  Once these young women have been used up these women are then discarded in trash cans through out the city.  It is now time for women to stand up for one another and take an accounting for their lives.
