Morning everyone!
(or afternoon or evening, depending on where you live)
Just popping in to say hello, and to share an observation. The news have been full of terror attacks lately, and at the same time I cannot help but see through the media circus and ask: Why aren't we reporting on an epidemic that is costing way more lives than terrorism?

Sure, it's scary to think someone walks into your bus or bar with a machete or suicide vest, but that is a very unlikely way to go from this earth. What is way more like are car accidents and domestic violence, especially if you are a woman or have a daughter or female family member. But since "it's just " DV, the media won't get as many clicks.
I also fear this won't change anytime soon, so all we can do is inform others, inform the ones we love, and do a tiny bit in our own short lives to maybe help just that one other person to be informed and safe.
