Violence against women is still treated as a lesser crime. Armed groups turn it into a weapon of choice because of near total impunity.
I think we should try to be responsible and educate ourselves. I'm simply doing that and traveling, learning first hand, and seeing first hand what's going on.
Acting is not pretending or lying. It's finding a side of yourself that's the character and ignoring your other sides. And there's a side of me that wonders what's wrong with being completely honest.
If we cannot end the conflict, we have an inescapable moral duty to help refugees and provide legal avenues to safety.
I was the punk outsider who nobody messed with. I was fearless. At 16, I graduated and moved out.
