Thank you very much for your thoughts and your work in general!

If we want those who benefit to collaborate, we need to show that there is a real and systematic problem.

Laura Bates started the Everyday Sexism Project and I think it was pretty successful. This may be because it backed up anonym statistics with stories the readers could relate to and because of the hundreds of thousands of stories. Are you aware of a platform to share experiences of violence without having to login? Like an Everyday Violence Project?

By the way: I found your initiative by searching for the above.

I learned that almost always there is needed support of at least some of those who benefit from social injustice to achieve social change.

In Germany there is a website called “Handelsregister” where companies have to publish financial results, the owners and probably other stuff. I think that it is possible to write a program that lists the owners and the amount of money they paid themselves. But they are hiding for a reason. I think it is because of fear. So would exposing them be an act of violence?

Additionally I think that people who were victims of violence often blame the wrong person. I wondered if there is a trickle down effect of violence in capitalism?

Rebecca Solnit wrote that the climate crisis should be called violence too. The climate movement seems to struggle to reach the people that will be affected most because these people think they have problems that are more urgent. May these problems all relate to violence they are victims of? May the victimhood of violence be the factor that could motivate people to change the system?
