I have no problem with this discussion on the listserv,
but I have not personally experienced violence nor has
anyone told me that she is in a violent situation.
I do believe that there is violence against women and that
such violence should be stopped.  When I began volunteer
work, the education coordinator told that me that should
I become aware of "special needs" on the part of my students,
there were resources available.  Fortunately (?!), such
a request has not been made.  I have not seen any visible
signs of abuse so I have assumed that there has not been
any violence against my students.  My silence stems from
inexperience.  I do not know what to say so I listen and
try to learn.
