Public toilets have been constructed in many informal settlements across the country in the last few years. But the ‘flying toilets’ they are meant to replace continue to be used. why? Because of men that stalk women and young girls in the public facilities after dark. a report released by amnesty international says rapists and muggers make it impossible for women to venture out at night. This increases the risk of diseases like cholera and dysentery when they go to the bathroom in their homes. Titled ‘insecurity and indignity’, the report accuses the government of failing to provide security to protect women from sexual violence.

Sin by Silence
A film by Olivia Klaus
Since 1989, Convicted Women Against Abuse, the first inmate-initiated and -led group inside the US prison system, has changed laws for battered women, raised awareness for those on the outside, and educated a system that does not fully comprehend the complexities of domestic abuse. From behind prison walls, SIN BY SILENCE shatters misconceptions and reveals the extraordinary lives of women who have killed their abusers and now advocate for a future free from domestic violence.

An animated story of a turning point in my life. This video request is long overdue.
It was requested by subscribers quite a while ago that I make and upload this. I started in Feb. but the situation in life got better (thank god) and I never had time to complete it. Now that it is done I must upload an updated version of “my story” as my life has taken a much needed change for the better.
This is a very serious clip. I ask of you, if you are a victim of abuse, please, PLEASE, go to this site:

If you are unable to hear me in the beginning here is what I said:
It was only six months ago
I had a normal life
normal chores normal house and a place to rest my head
but then
in one night
everything changed
One guy
One mistake
Months of tears
I took up my roots
I packed all my memories
I packed all my dreams
My goals my passions and I moved away
My dad arrived, we packed the truck. I moved two buildings over.
he bought me a sofa, it was my new bed.
for 2 months all my dreams, all my nightmares were absorbed by those sofa cushions
I worked hard, I saved everything. Now I have a new bed a new wardrobe and a new begginning
But my life, it continues to change.
I feel as though I were on a bike.
And I climbed to the top of the highest hill.
I set up camp, I became comfortable.
And one day a loving friend
A trusted partner, took it upon himself to push me down that hill on my bike
And before i knew it I was flying down that hill I had worked so hard to climb.
My bike wobbled unsteadily and I learned too late that I did not have brakes.
There was no more I could do than to hold onto my handles and pray that I’d make it to the bottom without crashing. I’m still falling.
But I know if I make it to the bottom. I will never again climb to the top. The risk is far too great that I’ll only get pushed down once more.
Instead if I survive I will bike far away from my past and never look back.
It was only six months ago.
If you were unable to read the stats in the video they are listed below:
We fought for the right to vote
Only we stopped short
Many are abused, too many!
Enough is enough!

This video was created for a class project in FCM 8420 Epidemiology at the University of Missouri, Columbia, Spring 2010. Every 9 seconds a woman is battered in the United States (National Statistics, 2010). One out of four women will experience domestic violence in their lifetime (National Statistics, 2010). Studies conducted by the Surgeon Generals office reveal that domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women between the ages of 15 and 44, which is more common than automobile accidents, muggings, and cancer deaths combined (National Statistics, 2010). When alcohol or drugs are involved, the risk of severity and lethality of intimate violence increases (Sharps et al., 2003). Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious and ongoing issue on college campuses and sufficient evidence regarding the effectiveness of counseling for intimate partner violence is lacking (Rhodes & Levinson, 2003). In order to shed some light on this sensitive topic, our video focuses on the various types of IPV as well as highlights some information on places victims of IPV can go.
Although the physical and sexual forms of IPV are more widespread and recognizable, emotional IPV is another form that occurs. The duration or frequency of IPV can vary as well as the severity, but regardless of the number of incidences or duration, no one should ever have to experience any form of IPV.
All forms of IPV are preventable. Due to the overwhelming prevalence of IPV as a cause of injury to women, counselors on college campuses must be trained to understand the physical effects of abuse, along with the mental and emotional effects that are occurring. All of these factors regarding IPV must be examined for intervention and treatment to be effective.
At the University of Missouri, the Relationship and Sexual Violence Prevention (RSVP) Center is an education and resource service for Mizzous students. RSVP Peer Educators, Greek Advocates, Stronger Together Against Relationship & Sexual Violence (STARS), and Men Against Relationship & Sexual Violence (MARS) are student organizations that help spearhead the efforts of RSVP. Depending on the need of the victim, RSVP can help victims of IPV seek the appropriate avenues of treatment, which may include: the MU Counseling Center, The Shelter, The Columbia Police Department, Attorneys on the MU campus, and the Student Conduct Office.
