HANDS OUT

Dear Blogettes,
The blogosphere has been down and that's my excuse for not writing. But I do have something relative on my mind.
I'm sure you have seen, T.V., the woman from Libya screaming her head off after being raped, beaten, and ostracized by the thugs in her country. She just will not shut up, how brave is that? Over the top brave, and yes she has finally been sent to Romania and probably will get to America. That brings me to the United States of America and our problem. I feel we need to all put our HANDS OUT to our sister women. We all know someone who has been abused, mentally or physically or both. Abuse is abuse and there is no difference between the two forms. When you have heard or know of someone this has happened to what have you done? Have you put your HANDS OUT to help? This does not mean it has to be monetary. These abused women need someone they can trust. Their abuser has more than likely isolated them from family and friends. They live in fear every single moment of the day and night. They cannot speak freely in their homes because they know the wrong move or word and the abuser will start THE RANT. These women will make plans to leave but at the last minute just can't make the BIG ESCAPE. It has to be their time and each one is different. It doesn't matter just be there with your HANDS OUT.
The Libyan woman got out with the help of friends from all over the world. If you hear your friend screaming, listen carefully for it is silent, put your HANDS OUT and let her know you are there! For heaven sake WE ARE SISTER WOMEN OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
