The last week a policewoman came in our class for talk about the violence against the woman.

It is a subject that interests me a lot and more this year. The reason is that in begginning of the year in our city there was a murder. A black man that I know murdered his woman. The woman was also from Africa and she was one of the best friend of my mom. The act affected me a lot. I can't forget it because now the woman is dead and the murdered is in the prison and the 3 sons are without the father and without the mother.
