Sir Patrick Stewart calls on ‘one million men’ to promise an end to violence against women
Sir Patrick Stewart stood in the center of the Diplomat Ballroom at the UN Hotel here on Friday, pounding his fist methodically against a podium, each thump punctuated with a number ("One ... two ... three ...") until he got to nine.
"Every nine seconds a woman is assaulted or beaten in the United States," Stewart said.
...Later, Stewart received a standing ovation after recalling the repeated violence he witnessed as a 5-year-old child at home.
"I became an expert on when to open the door and throw myself between my father's fist and my mother's body," Stewart said.
