This Is What Justice Looks Like

Let’s Dance

By: Anonymous

It is forever etched in my mind. The horror and the pain. I was beaten by my husband one month after we were married. He tried to remove my nipples with his fingernails. He beat me black and blue. Skin was missing on my thighs and hips from where he had dragged me on the cement. I had a concussion from his repeated blows to my head. II went to the ER but did not press charges. I wish I had. An employee of our company was there. When. I cried for help, he turned his back and left. Afraid of losing his job. Justice to me would be knowing that just one new bride would be spared being abused my her husband by bringing awareness and change to the world. And having the courage to speak out. Thank you Eve Ensler. Let’s Dance.
