I LOVE this woman! Mariska rules.

When she started portraying a detective on Law and Order, SVU, who was assigned to sexual abuse cases, she got mail from victims of sexual assault/abuse. She and her husband started a foundation to help the victims of such abuse, in real-life. I LOVE this woman!

Yeah, I like her too but that's not addressing the root cause in my opinion and only doctoring the symptoms in what I believe is an ineffective, band-aid approach to the real problem. Why are they doing this in the first place? Is it intrinsic to the human genome to abuse or are social pressures partly to blame?

Personally I believe social influences have an influence and if we worked to eliminate those pressures, then I think we would have more of an impact reducing this problem then just caring for the abused.

If you followed the link, you would know that she is supporting efforts to stop the cause of the abuse. If you find yourself on a battlefield, it is admirable if you try to save as many of the wounded as possible. It's also admirable if you contribute to some efforts to prevent war, but that doesn't help the wounded right now, nor contribute to their survival or rehabilitation.

Where in that article does it mention anything about addressing the cause of the abuse? I'm not clicking on all those purple links too. You already stated she's addressing the cause. My apologies to her and you then.
