Em briga de marido e mulher, é preciso sim, meter a colher

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Em briga de marido e mulher é preciso intervir. É preciso conversar, dizer a mesma que, em hipótese nenhuma ela tem que conviver com a violência.

É saibo que o silêncio é uma ” das” principais causa de morte entre as mulheres. Então, quanto mais você alertar e encorajar essa mulher a fazer a denúncia, mais se trabalha para tentar diminuir essa triste estatística no mundo que é a violência contra a mulher.

A violência doméstica acontece dentro dos melhores e piores lares. A relação íntima do casal se vê afetada quando o agressor cativa essa violência de modo que, fere os direitos dessa mulher. Um dia, diante de um desentendimento, ele fala coisas que cooperam para o sofrimento físico da vítima. Evidentemente que, tudo abala o psicólogo, situações como: como xingamentos, menosprezo dessa mulher, o distanciamento dos amigos e parentes E aqui, a coisa que considero mais interessante: ele…

Jamaican Jewish Cemeteries Preservation Fund launches its database

Petchary's Blog

The Jamaican Jewish Cemeteries Preservation Fund (JJCPF) launched its database of Jewish burial grounds in Jamaica today. Volunteers conducted extensive cataloguing of the sites across the island between 2008 and 2017. They recorded 33 burial locations including synagogue-purchased cemeteries, family burial grounds, those that were sold and no longer exist, and plot markers which were part of an interment ground that is now on residential property.
