Women are the bringers and bearers of life in our world and make up roughly 50% of it population, yet we are still regarded as unequal and a minority to men. Violence against women is much more prevalent than any other hate crimes in the world. We are more kind and forgiving by nature, but we cannot forget what we have been through-what we go through-and what will be in store if we forget to carry the torch.

Society rewards women who are passive and our culture nurtures this stereotype. Watch Disney movies and you'll see kids getting indoctrinated at a very young age.

passive is not the right word, maybe "kind" or loving would be more suitable
