Rhianna's 'Man Down' video opens the door of discussion about rape among women.
Rihanna's new video ”Man Down” has received a lot of controversy from various viewers, especially parents. It has been said her video encourages violence, but once you actually watch the video you can see how this video is showing a woman retaliating after being raped. The biggest concern is that teenage girls will be influenced to resort to violence. When I saw the video, I thought the lyrics were real and the situation is realistic. Many women across the world have been raped and have either thought of killing the assailant or have actually killed him. Her video is not encouraging young girls to shoot their rapist. If anything this video should be seen as a wake-up call to every man that even thinks of sexually assaulting a woman. I see …

Family, friends and neighbors play a key role in ensuring the safety of abused women.
If someone you know is in an abusive relationship, should you intervene? You've heard them argue, you know he's no good for her or vice versa, but should you say something? Abusers come in many shapes and sizes. There is no race, class or sex that can determine whether or not someone is an abuser. The only person who can identify an abuser is the person who is in a relationship with them. Every woman who is in an abusive relationship, initially is not aware that her husband/boyfriend is abusive. Depending on her level of tolerance will determine how soon she realizes her relationship has taken a bad turn. For one woman, pushing is okay, but name-calling is a complete deal breaker. For another woman, name-calling is okay, but punching isn't…

Wazineh Suleiman took a brave step to leave, but later returned home.
When enough is enough... I believe many moms have thought about leaving their families, especially their husbands. Even though times can get frustrating, what can make a mom leave her family? I can think of one thing... domestic violence. Wazineh Suleiman's disappearance and reappearance sounds like the typical actions that happen when a women is being abused within the home. I have seen this time and time again within the field of abuse. The woman finally gets up the courage to leave, the abuser files a missing person report, the police find her and she discloses to the police that she is in a safe place and is not missing. Domestic violence is real regardless as to whether she has bruises or not. Verbal abuse can be just as powerful and …
