End Violence [...] Now!

My baker said it by using
a German idiom:
Violence
against women
does not come
into the bag

And in 13 other languages:
SAY NO
to violence against women!
Living in freedom
without violence

Beers & Books CLXVIII – Arundhati Roy

The trouble is that once you see it,
you can't unsee it.
And once you've seen it,
keeping quiet, saying nothing,
becomes as political an act as speaking out.
There's no innocence.
Either way, you're accountable.


Arundhati Roy *24 November 1961

A body is a body,
