Villagers recognize that violence against women is sadly, not a new phenomenon in our country or in the world, however, in the last year women of color have experienced brutal forms of
violence,
torture,
rape and injustice which have gon
e unnoticed, received little to no media coverage, or a limited community response.

Ha ha, ow wow. This is terrible-funny because I was going to come to school in a pimp suit on Halloween. A red pimp suit perhaps ;)?
Woozie - You warned me about your unique sense of humor in past comments ... so I'm ready for you this time! As you know the underlying issue is decidedly UNfunny. Too many of our women are being mistreated by others ... and often within our own community itself. We can do better...
