This week's Wonder Woman Wednesday story threw me off guard. As an educator who helps women lead safe and appropriate lives, I am always quick to push against victim blaming and giving women stronger rights. What if that woman in a moment of self defense finds that she has no rights? What happens to the victims when they become accused of the attack? What can we do to help? How do I not know this is happening in my own home state?
Delphine Criscenzo was just that. A woman who fought for her life and the life of her children and in return, went to prison for more than a decade. Her story will inspire you to take action, and during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we should all be taking action.
Delphine Criscenzo, your tragedy and bravery is outstanding, and you are leading a fight for change that will save others in the future.
