The grand opening of the Empire Beauty School in Avondale was the setting for the launch of a community outreach campaign called Empire Gives Back to support the fight against domestic violence. The Empire Education Group has adopted the CUT IT OUT Program nationwide to support this effort by educating its own students to recognize signs of domestic abuse and safely refer those clients to people and resources that can help them. The CUT IT OUT training sessions will be taught in each of Empires nine schools in Arizona by representatives from the Arizona Coalition Against Domestic Violence.

Monira Rahman is a human rights defender, who works to create a society where women live a life free from the fear of violence. For 17 years, her efforts have centered on ending violence, abuse and discrimination against women in Bangladesh. As Executive Director of the Acid Survivors Foundation (ASF) Monira has raised awareness and brought about institutional change, including new laws to discourage attackers and prevent future violence. ASF runs a 20-bed hospital and treats 600-700 acid attack survivors annually many were attacked years ago and never received care. Through ASF, survivors also access mental health services and employment opportunities Creative Commons license: Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0

Ans unspeakable, uncontrolled practice is called: “Acid Attacks”. Which is becoming a common practice in certain parts of the World. Sulfuric acid, cheap and easily accessible like kerosene, has emerged as a weapon used to disfigure and sometimes kill women and girls.

Acid-throwing is one of the most alarming and horrific forms of violence especially targeted at women. It has a devastating effect on the victims. It inflicts lifelong suffering on them. Even a small amount of acid, sulphuric or nitric, melts the skin tissues, often with the bones underneath exposed or dissolved.

Other effects include:permanent disfigurement,
scars on the face and body, and narrowing of the persons nostrils, eyelids and ears. In most cases, vital organs of the survivors, especially the eyes, are permanently damaged.

It has a catastrophic impact on the lives of the victims psychologically, socially and financially.

Reported reasons for the acid-throwing attacks include the refusal of an offer of marriage, dowry disputes, domestic fights, and disputes over property. Acid attacks leave the victims scarred and often blinded.

Treatment is too expensive for most victims, and is an excruciatingly painful experience.

I haven’t done a video in a while so I thought I’d phone one on in and release this interesting monologue from shock jock Tom Leykis. Some are going to complain but I don’t relate to most of what Tom says. Occasionally he has an interesting topic like this.

I agree with a lot of what Tom has to say here, there is a limit of how much a person can be completely absolved from a situation. But to even voice thoughts of this kind is called “blaming the victim”. Sometimes the victim deserves a portion of the blame. That is reality.

Say I was murdered for walking the docks at night. The person who murdered me should be caught and held to account for the crime. But I played a part in the fate that befell me. The same way that a person accepts the chances of cancer if they were to smoke. Don’t cry afterwards because you decided to smoke and then got cancer.

A person who has committed domestic violence has committed violence — that is illegal. In caring societies we should have laws against violence, and we do. In the past much of DV was ignored and the feminists changed attitude. We should also help people who have nowhere to go, like a housewife with no job skills.

We should help people but we should not capitulate to their helplessness. De-politicise DV, and realise that like all crimes, you cannot completely stamp it out. A lot of it stems from a state of mind.

I am not a fan of MRA’s becoming victim mongerers. But I have two problems with DV as it stands in the modern zeitgeist:

1) The services provided are for women only. This is oppressive against men and violates the constitution of the U.S.

2) There are lies spread by the feminists to increase confusion and anti-male sentiment. Their way lies not in the truth.

The Courts and Police in Canada have shown that they simply DO NOT Care about Male Victims of Domestic Violence, even when a Women admits to the CRIME under Oath they will not lay charges!

This is in clear violation of Section 15.1 (2) of the Canadian Charter Of Rights And Freedoms which states

15. (1) Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.

(2) Subsection (1) does not preclude any law, program or activity that has as its object the amelioration of conditions of disadvantaged individuals or groups including those that are disadvantaged because of race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.

Please write the Ontario Government demanding to know why Women are allowed to Abuse Men and get away with it ! Tell them they need to HELP Men as well as Women who are Victims of Domestic !!!

This video is essentially a slight remake of my “Domestic violence – Ignoring the victims” video.
It contains a great deal of new material but I did it for reasons I shall reveal in time..

I have moved back indoors as it was becoming increasingly difficult to find a quiet place to make the video in an uninterrupted way.

Like all my other videos today — this one is split into two parts too. I would like to stop this but youtube insists not, even though I have directors account, I cannot upload videos longer than 10 minutes long. What a load of bull, youtube is not the best at providing you with a way to contact them.

[corrections]
I said “Erin Pizney” it is “Erin Pizzey”.
