Stop violence against women!!!
Non-violence consists of rejecting all
types of violence. There are many types of violence such as physical violence,
Sexual violence, Spiritual violence, etc. Many articles have been written on
non-violence. Here we focus on one of the phenomena in our actual society i.e.
the violence against women.
The
United Nations Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women
provides the following definition:
“The term violence against women means
any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in,
physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women, including threats
of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring
in public or private life”.
The
violence suffered by women comes largely from men. the most common cases are
domestic violence, family violence, early marriages and forced marriages and
sexual assault.
Women
or girls are neglected, marginalized, often beaten and even rejected.
Violence against women is one of the
biggest human rights violations in the world. Although considered as a serious
human rights violation in most countries and punished by their jurisdictions,
violence against women does not falter and is a crucial social issue because of
its complexity.
Main cause: Many causes can be
considered to explain the violence against women. The first and the most
important is the nature of human being. Naturally, people think that men are
superior to women, boys are superior to girls. Thus, the woman must serve the
man, she must lower herself, not engage in a contradictory debate with the man.
Also, this vision is shared
by many cultures and religions making the problem more complex when we know
that people's attachment to their cultures and religions. Therefore, it is
legitimate for a man to use violence against a woman.
Some
solutions:
the best solution to end violence against women and girls is to prevent it from
its roots.
·
Start
early in life the prevention;
·
Educate
young boys and girls;
·
Promote
respectful relationships between boys and girls;
·
Awareness
of abandoning devaluing cultures for women.
As
solutions, we can also mention:
·
Awareness
of men, who are the first to be called into question;
·
Do
not leave the fight to women only; men should also appropriate the fight;
·
Implicate
all, namely the decision makers, for the strict application of the laws against
the authors of these ignoble acts which leave a psychic impact on the life of
the victims;
·
Strengthen
laws on violence against women;
·
Promote
gender equality;
·
Encourage
woman empowerment.
We can and we have to
change things because women who suffer to give life and often lose theirs by
giving it, the source of life must be respected and valued; they don’t deserve
these atrocities.
All together, let say stop violence
against women!!!
