BRIDGEVIEW, ILL - Gary Albert, pudgier than his 1981 yearbook showed him and wearing glasses, walked out of the Bridgeview courthouse Monday night a free man, acquitted of the cold case murder of his pregnant, 15-year-old Deaf girlfriend.



Jurors who heard five days of evidence against Albert, who 30 years ago was an 18-year-old Deaf student at Hinsdale South High School, decided in less than an hour that he did not kill Dawn Niles as prosecutors had charged. “Mr. Albert, you are free to go,” Judge Joan M.

Deaf Hope - Do Men Understand Rape Culture ?

VIDEO [CC] - Stop Domestic Violence Promo from Lavender Revolution - a social media movement to end violence against Deaf women.



Men are living in the mistaken belief that they cannot be raped because "rape is a women's issue" Women are constantly striving to protect their bodies using many different ways, yet they are still being raped Everyday!





A man is raped everyday usually by other men. A woman is raped Every Two Minutes, usually by someone they know. Men are impacted by the constant Violence against women... Deaf men and women can accomplish so much more by working together to End Rape Culture! Every time we liberate a woman, we liberate a man.
