The cycle of Abuse

 

     I am currently a student at Vanier College situated in Montreal, Qc. This semester I took a class called "Alternatives for Women", which was part of the womens studies program. We had a main project to do and being a feminist I wanted to take the opportunity to make it into an activist project.
   Domestic violence is a topic that is so important and that affects one in three women. It can happen to anyone, and anyone who is subject to such attrocities feel lonely and what is important is for those survivors to know that they are not alone and especially not at fault. But most importantly that they can do something to get out of the abusive relationship, and anyone who knows someone who is the target of this type of violence can and should help them get out of it, for there is a lot of help out there.
