"When we get the headline we must know that those headlines of that one woman represent a thousand others that are not in the public eye," he said.
He asks what is being done to change the culture that kills women in our society.
"Of course we are a wounded and traumatized society. It is that we have a culture of patriarchy, we bring up our children in a patriarchal mindset, and that's why we are saying the key is to change that mindset through the socialization platform."
