Patrick Stewart speaks about Violence against Women

I must have been living in a hole. I didn't know Picard was doing this. He speaks pretty eloquently about the subject. Patrick Stewart, 73, is deeply involved in work that helps women who are victims of violence. At the recent Texas Comicpalooza, in reply to a question, he talked about how his father's violence towards his mother inspired him. He also explains how he only recently discovered that his father suffered from PTSD. "I do what I do in my mother's name, because I couldn't help her then. Now I can."
