She spoke to congress during the “International Violence Against Women: Stories and Solutions” hearing in Washington D.C on Tuesday.

She told Congress: Violence against women is not prosecuted because it is not a top government and urgent social priority. We can change this, [They] need and deserve our support. Not with a box of band aids but with a comprehensive, well-funded approach that acknowledges that women’s rights are human rights.”

I agree. As a once battered woman I think it’s important that there be some sort of change. I hope she is able to teach Sunday Rose to be a strong girl that will stand up for herself.
