I highly admire Eve Ensler's dedication and work to the cause of erradicating violence against women and girls.

Eve Ensler is the playwright of The Vagina Monologues and The Good Body. If you haven't seen them...you have to!!! They're incredible.

She's also the founder of the global movement V-Day, which is actively working to end violence against women and girls all around the world.

The video I'm posting here explains how she got to be so passionate on this particular cause. When I saw it, I was truly touched. I cried. I hope it has on other people the same effect it had on me, not about the crying, but about being more aware to the global and multidimensional problem that Violence Against Women really is.

I assume everyone knows about the existence of this problem, but I don't think we're really aware of its dimension, or maybe we are; maybe we just decide to look away and decide to ignore how harmful and horrible it actually is.

And so, it continues to wreck and sacrifice millions of lives every year.
