My heart breaks for the family of the female student at Rice University who was tragically killed in her dorm room on the first day of classes. It is a devastating situation that highlights the harsh reality of gender-based violence that is far too prevalent in our society. Flashbacks to a similar incident of stalking and murder on a college campus bring forth feelings of fear and vulnerability that many young women face.
The thought of simply going about your day, attending classes, and studying, only to be confronted with such senseless violence is truly terrifying. The fact that the perpetrator was someone she knew, someone she trusted to some extent, makes the situation even more chilling.… Continue reading

The story of an American woman found emaciated and left to die, chained to a tree in India, is one that shakes me to my core. The mere thought of someone enduring such unimaginable suffering at the hands of a loved one is beyond comprehension.

Violence against women has reached what is being described as ‘epidemic levels’ in the UK, according to recent reports. This crisis has prompted police to treat it as a threat on par with terrorism, signaling the urgent need for attention and action. But what exactly is causing this surge in violence against women, and why are we still grappling with this issue in the 21st century?
One key point that stands out is the comparison drawn between violence against women and terrorism in terms of threat levels. While terrorism is often viewed as a rare and extreme occurrence, the reality is that domestic violence against women is far more prevalent and widespread.… Continue reading

I can’t even begin to wrap my mind around the horrifying details of the Fort Campbell soldier found dead in her home, stabbed nearly 70 times. Seventy times.

As someone who supports the Second Amendment, I believe it is crucial to recognize that domestic abusers should not have access to guns. The recent Supreme Court ruling upholding a gun control law intended to protect domestic violence victims is a victory for public safety and the rights of those who have experienced domestic abuse. This is not about infringing on gun rights; it is about ensuring the safety of vulnerable individuals who are at risk of harm from abusers with firearms.
The lone dissenter in the 8-1 ruling was Justice Thomas, who seems to be following a path of jurisprudence that prioritizes creating chaos in American society rather than upholding common-sense laws that protect victims of domestic abuse.… Continue reading
