Stop violence against women

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!!!
