“She should have been silent and allowed the (our) rape of her!”
These were the words of the rapists of an Indonesian girl -who later died- because she tried so hard to fight off the men who gang-raped her. Is there any more of an idiotic reply than this one about the horrible situations in which women are raped or treated disrespectfully around our world?
Although this tragedy did not happen to you or a loved one of yours, please join me in doing what we can to prevent atrocities like this from happening to women and girls in the future. First, read on…
Bringing the focus closer to home, consider the hundreds of sexual abuse crimes caused by the selfish motives of men like Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein, etc. We must work together to stop all these sexual assaults.
Did you know 46 people, on average, are intentionally killed every day and, sadly, 8 of them are children…not to mention all the victims of crimes who are not killed but hurt in many ways?
While there are many kinds of crimes…all created by someone’s choice to harm others, let’s look at just one kind: Human trafficking. According to the National Human Trafficking Hotline, human trafficking has increased exponentially. Sadly, all these crimes were ‘created’ by the perpetrators’ choices! Not enough is being done to prevent these crimes!
Recently, the police chief here in LA said: “The Public Must Help Keep LA Safe.” To that, I would add: “What’s needed is a ‘North Star’ kind of standard for respectfulness that we all adhere to!” Given Public Safety is Everyone’s Responsibility, imagine how empowered we good people can feel in our diverse communities across America from California to Connecticut; from Seattle to San Diego, from Maine to Miami, when we are united mentally to ‘Do No Harm’ while we all continue onward with our own lives physically! Call me at 949-378-4126 and I’ll share with you how this can be done.
For groups who have a complete training program that teaches life skills, the core components of this process can be added as a supplement to any process you teach to prevent abuse so people can be united mentally in diverse communities. Contact me to learn how. I look forward to your call or email.
