The Zonta Club of Melbourne’s East Inc recorded their newest member, Dr. Veena Barsiwal, reciting a poem she wrote, “Buried Deep.”

The club shared the video on their Facebook and Instagram pages during the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence with the caption, “This poem, by Dr Veena Barsiwal, is very moving and cuts to the core of domestic violence in our community. It can affect women from all corners of the globe, rich or poor, single, married, healthy, mentally well, LBGTQ+ . PLEASE share this poem to raise awareness of Domestic Violence during 16 Days of Activism from 25 November to 10 December.
