Subject: Thousands of Chileans to March Against DV!

 

 

FYI: The new president of Chile (elected last year)  is a woman.  She is

also a physician who was tortured several years ago by the dictator

president.  Now she is president!! President Michelle Bachelet is a dynamic

person who supports the indigenous people of her country.

 

I think this short story blow would be great to put on our  survivors yahoo

email since it's about DV AND  we have 3 latina advocates.  As you know I'm

not able to send on the yahoo email so I'd appreciate your sending this

around.  Thanks!
