FIGHT AGAINST VIOLENCE
It is an alarming fact that violence rate is on increase nowadays. Violence is the most pervasive violations of human rights in the world, one of the least prosecuted crimes and one of the greatest prosecuted threats to lasting peace and development. Although violence is a threat to everyone, because they often have fewer rights or lack appropriate means of protection.
We all know that we have to do much more to respond to the cries for justice of women and children who have suffered violence. We have to do much more to end these horrible abuses and the impunity that allows these human rights violations to continue. These human rights violations pose serious consequences for current and future generations.
Women and children are not spoils of war. They deserve preventive protection, information and justice. For the response to this violence, different sectors in society must work together.
We, as women should be empowered to protect ourselves and be equipped with the right knowledge and skills. Women and children have been most susceptible to sexual violence in times of conflict. But in a woman is a fighting spirit that is born with the instinct to protect and nurture. Women should channel awareness through their professions as educators, health care providers, public servants and so on.
In order to fight againsts violence, we must promote a culture of equality between men and women through institutional and legal reform, education, awareness-raising and the full engagement of men and boys and also we must work together to seize the moment and move quickly so that the momentum is not lost.
