Day 7: Guns & Intimate Partner Violence

Firearms in homes with domestic abuse make situations far more dangerous. Research shows that women in such homes are five times more likely to be murdered. Guns not only escalate violence but also instill fear, trapping victims and complicating police intervention. Effective laws and victim support are crucial to addressing this issue.

Day 6: White Supremacy & Gun Violence

White supremacy’s link to gun violence is alarming, with incidents like the Christchurch and Pittsburgh shootings highlighting this trend. Perpetrators often act out of racial hatred, using guns to target specific communities. Addressing this requires stricter gun control, better education, and improved online content monitoring.

Day 5: Pay Gap & Unpaid Labor

The gender pay gap is significantly influenced by unpaid caregiving, primarily done by women. This unpaid work, including child and elder care, leads to career interruptions and lower wages due to part-time work and reduced hours. Recognizing and valuing caregiving in policies is crucial to closing the pay gap.
