Almighty Father, I place the Precious Blood of Jesus before my lips before I pray, that my prayers may be purified before they ascend to Your divine altar.

Refugee, in an upside world men should love their wives, daughters, and protect their women folk.  

Despite all the knowledge and development we have obtained in the United States, it is a sad state of affairs that we have so much abuse of women taking place. Sadly, much is due to the influence and addictions to alcohol, drugs, and ography. Here is some information I think is alarming about women in the world:

1 IN 3 women will be raped, abused or beaten in her lifetime. EACH MINUTE a pregnant woman dies. That's one too many. 75% of all Sub-Saharan Africans ages 15-24 Infected with HIV are women. 49% of all sexual assaults worldwide are against girls 15 and younger.

3 out of 4 (74%) respondents personally know someone who is or has been a victim of domestic violence. 83% percent of respondents strongly agreed that domestic violence affects people in all racial, ethnic, religious, educational, social and economic backgrounds. 2 out of 3 (66%) strongly agreed that domestic violence is a serious, widespread social problem in America. While 4 out of 10 (43%) ranked fear that the abuser will find the victim as the number one reason a victim would not leave his/her abuser, over a quarter (28%) thought that finding access to money/income to support the victim and/or children was the most important problem.
