Human trafficking. Prostitution. Rape. Are these just words to you? What is left of the woman before you after men have taken everything? Every time you make a joke at a woman's expense, look into her eyes. Every time you allow rape culture to thrive, look into her eyes. Every time you ignore women's rights and pretend it is not your battle, look into her eyes. "People were created to be loved. Things were created to be used. The reason the world is in chaos is because things are being loved and people are being used" - John Green. These women are daughters, sisters, mothers, cousins, aunts. Do they not deserve the same love and respect? Are we not all deserving of love and respect? "If you consider a woman less pure after you've touched her, maybe you should take a look at your hands?" - Kaija Sabbah
