"Abuse is an attempt to control the behaviour of another person. It is a misuse of power... to make the victim vulnerable."There are many different kinds of abuse, and it is happening all over the world. Some may think there's nothing they can do about it, that they just have to accept it. Some may not even be aware that they are being abused. There needs to be an awareness of abuse and the kinds of things that could be done to prevent it and stop it from happening.
Blog Catalog, a premiere social blog directory, has created an open challege to all bloggers to create an awareness for abuse. On September 27th, join thousands of bloggers around the world as they participate in blogging about putting an end to abuse. The goal is to be a part of the largest group of bloggers to blog about an important cause. You do not have to be a part of the Blog Catalog community to participate, and you may write about any type of abuse.
I have decided to write about "emotional child abuse" (parents who abuse their child emotionally and/or psychologically), being someone who has been subjected by this, and will be making my post on September 27th.
This is a great and worthy cause. Help spread the word and unite bloggers about this cause to make blogging history by participating in this event to help all those who have been abused or have been abusing.
You may think that it's pointless to try and that it won't make a difference with so many victims out there. And you know what? You're right. There are lots of victims out there; it would be nearly impossible to help them all.
But every little bit helps. It may not make a difference to everyone, but it will make a difference to someone.
