When Women Resort To Violence To Stop Abusive Men

In this livestream, Merly Åsbogård, Elly Arrow, and Sybil Jo go over examples of women individually and collectively resisting men's abuse with violent means from the Gulabi Gang movement in India, the YPJ of Northern Syria, to individual women and girls who kill their abusive partners, traffickers, or (paying) rapists.
