Are We All Trumpets?
Accuracy in Academia ^ | November 25, 2016 | Malcolm A. Kline

The American division of Graduate Women International (GWI) may find itself in the odd position of channeling Donald Trump.

“On this International Day to Eliminate Violence Against Women (VAW), Graduate Women International (GWI) voices concern and raises awareness about the ongoing battle women internationally face against physical, sexual, and psychological violence every day,” reads an advance press release from GWI for November 25, 2016. “GWI calls for implementation of stronger legislation that will protect women from all forms of violence. Women across the globe are subjected to violence in many different forms including forced marriage, domestic abuse, female genital mutilation (FGM), human trafficking and rape. Gender based violence increases the possibility of women and girls living a life in poverty. Of huge concern is the large percentage of women experiencing violence or harassment who decide not to report the crime or seek help. GWI encourages legislative language changes and Member States to take actions that help women feel more comfortable and confident about coming forward and reporting their attacks. By working together, and with enough political will, governments and people in positions of influence can educate women that there is no negative stigma to reporting violence.”

I should have noted that this is an excerpt. Sorry, just back from vacation.

How do we protect all women from Bill Clinton, that is the question.

How about "protect PEOPLE from all forms of violence? I guess it's like BLM, only one kind of lives matter.
