Frustration

One of the biggest problems I face with Ruth House is frustration.

I know it is a vital issue, and I know what I have to do, but I can't seem to get it done.
I need women to help me, but, generally, they don't help me. I need leaflets circulated, but even asking women to take some to their home group, or place of work meets with "No." I've no idea why.

I understand the sensitive nature of this issue, but sunlight is the best cure. Let's bring it right out into the open. Let the women who are being abused tell us the ugly truth. Let's all bear the shame and the sorrow, and let's all rise up and fix it. But I can hear it now. "How can he know - he's a man!" That seems sufficient excuse to shut the door.

Why do I feel I am wasting my time writing this?
