Despite the fact that several associations have been continually highlighting the domestic violence issues in Portugal and giving them a "face" these seem to keep on haunting our society and the number of battered and murdered women every year is still very high.
I couldn't help thinking about my daughter who dedicated her short life working for an association which provided and still provides support to such women the moment I saw this face, one of many spread in the capital city as part of an ongoing campaign.
How many more women will have to be murdered till we realise that each life is valuable and domestic violence a phenomenon our society, despite not being able to completely ban, has the obligation to at least be aware of ...
May the campaign lead to better results or some sort of "visibility" ...
