Physical, emotional, psychological, and financial abuse—and plotting my dangerous escape from them all.It's the NNEDV Week of Action: Find It Friday - When we talk about domestic violence, we talk a lot about power and control—but we know that inequality doesn’t just happen in the context of abuse. It’s so important to #ConnectTheDots between injustice on a smaller scale, and the big, structural injustices that so many people are facing in our world today. For #FindItFriday, we want to know: where do you find imbalances of power and control in your community, or in the stories and media you consume, or even in the news you watch and read? And, if you’re comfortable sharing: what are YOU doing to dismantle them and create a safer, more equitable world? #DVAM2020
