| | |  J.K.Rowling donates shoes to exhibition
J.K.Rowling is one of the many celebrities who have donated shoes for an exhibition to highlight the issue of domestic abuse. The 104 pairs of footwear represent the number of women killed each year as a result of such abuse. The items will tour Forth Valley to mark "the start of a 16-day international campaign aiming to eliminate violence against women." Each pair will appear with a note from the owner. Other pairs of shoes on display come from those who have died at the hands of their partners. | |

That is good.It's so horrible that people are dying due to domestic violence and it's nice that a stance is taken against it.

__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

This is a horrible thing to have happen, but such a sweet thing to do... but still... domestic violence is horrible.

Thats so good that Jo and other famous peopl are helping out & making awareness . It might help women & some men living in that situation that they CAN leave their voilent partners & their is people out there that can and want to help them.
