Nov 25: The International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women

On the occasion of The International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, the 25th of November, the Telefono Donna rape helpline of Italy circulated this controversial poster in Milan to encourage more rape victims to break their silence.
