Silent, Thank you for your kind message. Every culture has and has had stutterers. I’m sure cultures that devalue women generally demean any differences even more severely. It’s wonderful that there is support in your country. It depends upon us to encourage our peers. There is a new Facebook group to support stutterers and their families. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1908545459494342&set=gm.735784164942342&type=3&mibextid=l066kq I hope to see you there.
