Her eyes were broken, dazed
Filled with a painful reality
Filled with fear
Confusion
Helplessness
Hopelessness
She was broken
Shattered
Almost dead
She was beaten
Raped
Humiliated
She’s 13
She’s 54
She’s 24
She’s 74
She’s 34
Pleads didn’t matter
No, wasn’t enough
Cries were never heard
Tears never stopped
She’s here
She’s present
She’s around us
She’s our friend
Our mother
Our daughter
Our sister
Our grandmother
I could be her
She could be me
She could be you
Violence against women doesn’t end here. It continues every day, every hour… inside our homes, our schools, our jobs, our safe spaces. It happens. What are you doing to stop it?
