What I found to be most interesting in this article was not placing the blame on certain individuals as perpetrators but holding each other and ourselves accountable. How are we acting that encourages violence? We must stand together as a community to stop violence among each other. The article states that, “We need to #breakthesilence by creating pathways to fundamentally shift conversations – in schools, homes, churches, mosques and synagogues, in gyms and rugby clubs and on the golf course – that destroys our implicit complicity in a system where gender based violence are akin to that of countries at war.” We deserve better, not because we are men, women, sons, or daughters, but because we are all human and deserve to be treated so.
