As we all celebrate several victories accumulated over the course of the year, the end of the year is also normally a time to take stock of our achievements or lack thereof in health, wealth and connections with the greater universe. So where do you stand?
On November 25, exactly a week ago, the "16 Days of Activism Against Violence on Women and Children" campaign was launched.
This is a worldwide activity geared towards raising awareness on women and child abuse.
But this particular campaign has a twist that deals strongly with HIV and AIDS related issues. What a shame that in spite of all the development strides - social, economic and otherwise - made by humans, these barbaric acts of abuse still haunt untold numbers of individuals, families and communities.
