In her first blog Global Connect! writer Zaira Cortés uses one case of domestic violence in her community to talk about domestic violence against all women to raise awareness of the problem and to encourage women to report incidents.

"We have not given up. There is still a lot of pain in our hearts. Hector Ramirez should be in prison. Our family will not feel safe until Hector pays for his heinous crime," said a close relative.

The New York City Police Department has increased the reward for the suspect from $12,000 to $22,000 and they hope someone will recognize Ramirez and inform the police where he can be found.
