Now back in the United States, I want to share the fruit of one of my side Fulbright projects. Just days before I left, I got together with a couple of friends to record a song that we created about the issue of violence against women, or gender-based violence. It's a significant public health issue in the DR and around the world - but it's not only a health problem; it's also a human rights issue and a social issue.
So here's the song and video we made (the track was produced by DJ Beethoven of Santiago, RD). Hope you enjoy! And please pass it around; we are working on promotion in the DR, but we want as many people as possible to hear the message.
