It is imperative that people understand the actual extent of violence against women, the various forms that it takes (as mentioned above) and its prevalence. This is important because in many cultures around the world patriarchy (one of the main factors in instances of abuse) is very much alive and the girls and women that grow up in these societies are brought up to believe that the abuse they endure is normal, in other words; they deserve to be abused because they are women. It is because of such reasons that the issue of violence against women deserves to be at the forefront because too many atrocious acts against women are still seen as lawful in many societies.

It should also be noted that even though it is not everyone that will hit a woman, sexually harass her or even rape; we are all complicit if we turn a blind eye or dismiss anyone of these incidents as a fluke. As we have noted recently in the scandal surrounding Harvey Weinstein (a Hollywood media giant); many people have now come forward saying they were victims of his or that they were in some form aware of what was going on but they kept quiet because of fear.

I find that university is there to ignite a passion in each and every person hence why we have student activism. Student activism is necessary for social change because students are seen as the future and therefore community leaders are more likely to pay attention. Since students are the future, that means they are the future policymakers and thereby hold the keys to the change that they envision. (-- removed HTML
