Christy Johnson recently wrote about a rally to raise violence awareness in Ohio. I include an excerpt:
The struggle to end domestic violence and rape led students, faculty and community members to the 3rd annual “Take Back the Night” rally and march Saturday.
Approximately 100 men and women headed to the lawn near University Hall to listen to musicians and speakers and share personal stories about domestic violence.
Domestic violence and rape is becoming increasingly more prevalent in America, where one out of every six women experiences sexual assault, and one out of every four women will face some sort of domestic violence during her lifetime.
It makes me happy to hear of all those people standing up and protesting violence. However, it makes me sad that we have violence to protest. We need to keep standing up against offensive violence and keep working harder to end it until we have eradicated it from the world.
