Violence against someone of the opposite gender signals a belief that that person is an inferior being, is of a lower order of creation. It can also be assumed that the perpetrator also believes that animals and every living thing on earth is also ‘available’ for rape and pillage. But that is another discussion.

If we Christian live and speak this, we can with all authority challenge gender-based violence.
