Dear James

Thanks for replying to the declaration
However, be careful when sharing those tips.
They do not, unfortunately, reflect the reality of women going through
violence and do not serve all women as we are all very different in
countries and professions.

The best thing is to know there folks willing to collaborate and
understand on gender issues, understand that this is not about women
only but creating a better world for all

Best,

Renata
