So this writer was just on Facebook and saw that one of my friends posted about how she still has one last final tonight. Everyone commented wishing her good luck and giving her words of encouragement. One boy said, “You got this! Beat it, beat it like a wife.” It had 4 likes. So disgusted that people think comments like that are ok. There is nothing funny about domestic violence.

Can violence against women end?
This is a difficult question to answer. Yes, violence against women can, and should, end. But when can it end? If this writer had it her way, it would end now. Right this second. But nothing in the world works that way. Violence against women can only end if everyone is educated on the subject and learns why it needs to be stopped. The media needs to stop portraying it as something that is...

What does security mean to you?
This year’s 16 Days of Activism theme is From Peace in the Home to Peace in the World: Let’s Challenge Militarism and End Violence Against Women! Obviously, militarism is a bad thing, but it also encourages some forms of masculine violence against women. Militarism affects the lives of women all over the world, and violence against women can’t end until there is peace.

We’ve all probably gone through this at least once: you’re walking down the street, on your way to class or work, minding your own business, and some bro whistles at you and makes some kind of comment on how good you look or something of the sort. These comments are stupid and annoying, not flattering like the bros would like to think. This harassment needs to end. If you have ever...

And what’s the best way to spread awareness of HIV/AIDS and prevent it? You guessed it… KNOWLEDGE! So take this quiz and see if you’re in the minority of young people who are educated about...
