I am glad you are participating in "black friday." While it may not seem like it matters, I think it's a very visible statement so it will get people thinking and talking about it, which is a good first step. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-for-blackfriday#post-849856 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 15:43:27 +0000 Angie 849856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So tragic and sickening. </p> <p>I appreciate your authentic outfit Hil, and am sending along a supportive hug. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-for-blackfriday#post-849724 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 12:55:54 +0000 Thistle 849724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a long, hard fight, but I am glad it has been started . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-for-blackfriday#post-849690 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 11:29:21 +0000 krishnidoux 849690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-for-blackfriday#post-849682 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 11:16:27 +0000 rute 849682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sad! These cases are still too much! It's a sad day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-for-blackfriday#post-849676 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 09:45:11 +0000 Hil 849676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a somewhat sombre post - Angie, please feel free to move it to Off Topic if you see fit. </p> <p>Last week, here in SA a young girl named Anene Booysen was brutally raped and murdered. Yesterday, Oscar Pistorious, an international sporting hero shot and killed his girlfriend in what appears to have been a case of domestic violence. </p> <p>A call was made to wear black today as a symbol taking a stand against violence and abuse of women. </p> <p>As I got dressed this morning, I debated whether a wardrobe choice could really make a difference to the shocking statistics of violence against women in this country. To the perpetrators... I'm pretty sure a bunch of SA citizens wearing black means nothing. But if we keep fighting, keep remembering the victims and survivors, keep talking about the issues, perhaps our collective consciousness will make a change. I'm wearing black (albeit with an oversized denim shirt which I removed as soon as the morning chill was gone). The outfit is not great, but since I don't feel great and this is not a happy day, that somehow seems fitting. </p>
