Other News
A very powerful article from Oprah magazine that underscores the need for a strong response from the police when it comes to cases of domestic violence. The article really helps to show the barriers that women face when they decide to leave an abusive relationship. It also helps to answer the question, why doesn't she just leave? As the article shows, leaving doesn't always work.
