Women enduring a war unlike any other...

If you aren't aware what is taking place with women around the world and the battles they continue to face, please read about one area in disarray.   http://www.stoprapenow.org/infocus.html

I recently attended a VDay event in New York City, where Eve Ensler began a journey alongside Dr. Denis Mukwege from the DRC, and thousands of supporters.  Eve interviewed Dr. Denis Mukwege seeking an answer, and possible justification for the violence taking place, but after an hour of dissecting and attempting to understand, Eve's jaw was still hanging close to the floor.  While emotionally broken inside, I and the rest of the auditorium was ready to take a stance.  

After reading the posted article, I too hope you are asking yourself, "Why?"  This word may never receive an answer from the perpetrators, but what is the use in clinging on when left alone?  Here are several ways you can pick up your own jaw, voice your opinion, and help show support to the women who have lived through a world destroyed by war.
