Pricey Daughter,
Did you realise that twenty fifth November was Worldwide Day for the Elimination of Violence
towards Girls and that the 16 Days since then have marked 16 Days of Activism Towards Gender-Primarily based Violence?
Did you rejoice?
Should you did rejoice, did you exit with buddies to a bar, the place you wanted to gurard your
drink in case it was spiked?
Did you’ll want to protect your self and your friends from the sexist ‘banter’ being hurled your approach?
Did you’ll want to fend off a minimum of one undesirable advance invading your area and making
you are feeling uncomfortable?
Did you’ll want to be sure you carried your keys, your protection of alternative, gripped in your
hand when you walked from the bus cease to your property?
Did you keep in mind to name your mates while you obtained residence to mark your self protected?
I hope sooner or later you don’t want to jot down this letter to your daughter.
Love,
Mum xxx
