I appreciate Cynthia Clarke spreading the word for your votes! I just read this article and I am sickened in my stomach about how prevalent and extreme violence against women continue to be. DeafHope has seen a lot of deaf women get murdered because of lack of access to shelter services. Now we are in the second round with Chase Community Giving for a chance to win one million dollars to help us build a shelter. Will keep you all posted. The voting starts on January 15th Thank you for voting for DeafHope (http://www.deaf-hope.org) We made it to the top 100 for Chase Community Giving!

Yet it doesn't change. And it's not just about abuses halfway around the world. These things happen everywhere. We have become so accustomed to it we even give it sterile names -- like "domestic abuse", "dysfunctional family". We don't question injuries we see on women because we don't really want to know. If we know then we might have to do something. We take for granted jokes, offhand comments that gloss over the demeaning of women. We don't object when we hear "music" lyrics about "ho's" and such. We don't object to the constant sexualization of young girls and women and even encourage young girls to invite their own objectification. <br><br>Nothing will change without changing attitudes. And women must insist on change. Unfortunately I think things will get worse before they get better. Men seem to get more violent as women achieve more power. There is resentment when women get a job or an honor that previously was reserved to men. Comments to the effect that "she got it because she's a woman"or "white men don't stand a chance anymore". <br><br>People don't easily give up power that they have always regarded as their birthright.
