We are equally mindful of the cultural messages that allow Domestic Violence to continue. To address the issue effectively, we must continue to examine both equally. As many of us know, resources vary widely. Generally speaking there are far more resources (e.g., shelters, hotlines, organizations, etc…) in the First World versus the Developing World. However even in countries like the United States and Canada, these resources can vary from community to community. In countries like Jamaica and Haiti (to name two of many under-resourced countries) the resources are scarce - too few and far between. Additionally cultural attitudes vary widely and some of these "norms" are startling. On this show - airing Tuesday, October 29th, at 8:00 pm (Pacific) and 11:00 pm (Eastern) - we’ll be talking with two special guests about both elements of this pressing issue.

Karen, Damali, and our very special guest will talk about how Domestic Violence impacts the “victim/survivor” and those who witness it firsthand (e.g,. children). Our guest witnessed Domestic Violence in his home as a child and says that painful experience has remained with him into adulthood. He will also share how this experience has helped to shape him into the man he is today. We’ll process, reflect, and heal together.

Each of these young women were rape victims. Two of the three were violated and then re-victimized in social media. If nothing else, their lives and traumatic deaths, can spur on an urgent conversation. How can we teach our children to have greater empathy and compassion? What can we do to change our perceptions of young people who have been victimized? A young woman who is raped is not a slut! She is a victim of a heinous crime. Join us for the next episode of Ennufff, where we will look at the relationship between rape and suicide.
