      Domestic Violence needs to stop. There are so many women who are trapped in relationships that restricts their every moment. An Abused woman is often stripped of every bit of self esteem she has and even after she leaves an abusive husband/boyfriend it takes years for the Diva that is inside of all women to return.
      Perhaps someday this will no longer be an issue.
