En: And because around holidays we tend to remember those who are less happy than us, the girls and I attended a charity event organized by the 'Society of women who love shoes'.
This is an organization that focuses it's efforts and total activity to support and prevent the women and families who are physically abused. According to the study revealed on their webpage, one in four women are physically abused. Sad but true. We went to support the concept. I personally donated a pair of shoes that I bought a few months ago but never got to wear them as well a dress and bag. I truly hope someone will get to enjoy the few things donated, at the end shoes, make us women happy but not everyone gets to buy them.
The charity events where people gather to drink champagne and have fun tend to sound banal when we talk about sad phenomenons like physical abuse. But at the end I believe that besides the raised funds and the gathered goods it is about giving an example to those who suffer. It is the 21st century outside and if a relationship doesn't work a woman can and does have the right to make a decision to go on and be happy without the person that hurts her or her kids.
