International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women

From the UN, see here: http://www.un.org/depts/dhl/violence/

It depresses me that we need a day like this.  It depresses me that the media (usually) don't report on it.

You know what also depresses me?  that due to the gender wage gap, from the 2nd November I am effectively working for free.  Eh.  How rubbish is that.
