Monday, Nov. 25, marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Particularly disturbing figures released by the United Nations show that the murder of women is taking on dimensions of a global scourge.
On average, 137 women around the world are murdered on a daily basis by their partner or another relative.
For Christian women around the world, the figures are even more shocking. In some countries being a Christian woman invites constant threats to their safety, dignity and even life.
