Women & Trauma

Please remember the following text:

"If government statistics hold true, one out of every three women is being sexually abused by a trusted family member, friend, or stranger. The key word here is 'trusted'. Currently, there are people in influential positions with Project  2025 targeting women, minorities, and others who do not fit their narrow description of humanity. I usually vote based on what's important to me, and this time I'm leaning towards the Democratic party. I'm concerned about potential changes to the American Constitution that wouldn't be inclusive and could amount to a harmful agenda. I refuse to stand by and watch future generations, like my own children, suffer with regressive policies.

""What defines a woman?" This question is often asked. Women are believed to be a divine creation, entrusted by the Almighty with the role of bringing forth new life, and are considered to be blessed and highly favored by Jehovah God through his Son Jesus Christ. The Bible emphasizes the essential role of women in the continuation of life. Despite facing immense stress and enduring significant pain while carrying out tasks traditionally labeled as "a woman's job," it is crucial to show respect and provide encouragement to women. If you find yourself in need of mental support, it may be beneficial to explore online mental health resources such as BetterHelp.com. Prioritizing our own well-being is essential, as neglecting it can hurt those around us.
