I was just on the Sun website, reason irrelevant, but on the front page there was a thumbnail picture of this article about Tirion Lewis, who was beaten up by her boyfriend. The picture shocked me, because although of course I know violence against women exists, I've never seen it so clearly in-your-face before, if that makes sense? It just brought it home to me and made me feel very angry and upset.
The picture is here, warning, it is extremely graphic and is distressing.
It just made me think - should pictures like this be in the public domain? Does it help to see the real effects of domestic violence, or is it just sensationalising it? I can't decide what I think about it. That poor girl :( and thousands like her. :(
