As Einstein astutely said, the world is a dangerous place to live because we permit evil to take place. For instance, only a minority of the world's population uses violence. However, the majority of us are silent about it. Our silence serves to condone violence. We must, therefore, speak out. The UN's campaign "16 Days of Hope," which begins Nov. 25, calls upon us, wherever we are in the world, to raise awareness about violence against women and to speak out against it.
