I want to apologize again for my rude, disgusting statement. I am against domestic violence and against any violence in general. I believe that there is no such thing as “earn violence.” I really want to convey the idea that it is in our hands, in our power, to stop the violence and to prevent it from happening at all.

Thank you for showing me the vile realities that I did not even suspect about because of my ignorance and lack of education.
Now my Instagram platform will be the home for those who are ready to talk about domestic violence and will no longer be silent! Until yesterday, I did not understand the scale of the problem of domestic violence. During this day, having received thousands of stories of real women, I contacted representatives of foundations (Center “Violence.Net”, Center for Assistance to Sexual Violence survivors “Sisters”, Crisis Center for Women, “you are not alone”) supporting women subjected to domestic violence so that by joint FORCES to convey this problem to society, and most importantly — to develop steps to eradicate it! A woman in such a situation needs help, and not the advice of the girl from the COVER !!! Please forgive me if this can be forgiven.
