These laws should be taught in school, education is one of the main factors for change, and the children will in turn teach their families what they are learning. Then women and anyone oppressed before the laws were implemented, should be encouraged to come forward and participate by giving ideas to better their communities, countries and the world.

We try to forget and we do forget a lot. Just can't shake that feeling though! Still after all these years trying to figure out what I did wrong in the first place. I don't think I can because it really never had anything to do with me. This is the only conclusion I can come to. People really can't seem to see us. They don't want to because that would mean they would have to do something about it. Even we ourselves make ourselves invisible! It is easier this way. Very hard to talk about and does take support. My thanks to Nicole Kidman for speaking out. Never easy! We don’t heal. We try to forget and we do forget a lot. Just can’t shake that feeling though!

If each of us would play a role in our local communities and in organizations that are involved in it on a local and global scale maybe someday this can end and we can really live in an equal world. May the "Hand of God" be with all who are willing to give of themselves to this effort that would go far towards making for a safer and happier world to live.
