Today’s global day of activism against violence against women and girls dawned with the news Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius has been charged with murdering his girlfriend. Model Reeva Steenkamp was shot and killed at the athlete’s home early this morning. A police spokeswoman said neighbors heard shouting, and police had previously been called to the home for domestic issues. Pistorius became a global phenomenon as the first double amputee to run in the Olympics. Every day around the world, three women are murdered by their intimate partners.
