the most disturbing thing i've ever read.

Neighbors are witnesses to this. Many flee. Families are dislocated. Social relationships are lost. There is no more social network, village network. Not only the victims have been destroyed; the whole village is destroyed.

this article in the NYTimes is by far the most disturbing thing ive ever read. i dont even know how to react to it. im sitting here in the teachers lounge at the colombo in tears because of this article. it astonishes me what human beings are capable of doing to fellow human beings. and the worst part is i feel absolutely powerless to stop it. i wouldnt even know where to begin.

im more writing this post so that others read it and can somehow figure out a way to help these poor women, families and communities. please.
