kb,
As I have already said - Gender Based Violance is not necessarily physical abuse. There's much more than that :cry: :cry: and people need to learn and understand. It is every individual's moral responsibility.
Media can play a vital role in creating an awareness about this. It is a very powerful & far-reaching tool! Just imagine the effect the heroine of 'Puthumai peN' created! What wonderful dialogues, what climax, what message! New generation woman should have the guts to face & confront sadists & male chauvnists who have had a long reign with their base qualities, the most despicable samples of that sex! Woman has been taken for granted for too long! :evil:
Woman
For every strong woman
tired of faking "weakness"
there is a man
tired of faking "strength"
For every woman
tired of faking "foolishness"
there is a man
tired of having to act as a "model of wisdom"
For each woman
tired of being labelled as an
"emotional female"
there is a man
who has been denied
the right to cry and be sensitive
For every sportswoman
whose femininity is questioned
there is a man forced to compete
inorder to give testimony of his virility
For every woman
tired of being considered a
"sexual object"
there is a man concerned about
his sexual performance
For every woman who has
not had access to a degnified salary
there is a man forced to bear the
economic burden of another human being
For every woman who ignores the
"secrets of car mechanics"
there is a man who doesnt know
how to "boil an egg"
For every woman that
steps towards her freedom
there is a man
who rediscovers the road to liberty
The human race is a two wing bird
one wing is female
the other is male
Unless both wings are equally developed
The human race will not be able to fly !!
Some facts ...
Women and girls are the poorest of the poor because of the extreme forms of discrimination that persist in many parts of today’s world.
Women are often not allowed to own property or keep the money they earn; as farmers they get the most marginal land and as workers they are trapped in the worst jobs for the least pay. More girls than boys are denied education.
Men still have a monopoly on decision-making at every level from village councils to national government, so even when policies are introduced to help the poor, they often ignore the needs of women.
Men’s power over women often costs women their lives. Women are more vulnerable to HIV infection because they are not able to insist on protected sex, even when they know their partner is infected. Men often use physical violence to reinforce their power over women and girls.
The spread of HIV/AIDS thorugh southern Africa has underlined the extent to which women are subservient and powerless in society. They often have little say over their sexual lives. HIV possitive women are less likely to get support from their families and communities than men. In some cases they can be accused of prostitution, even when infected by their husbands. And they stand to lose any inheritance rights and mostly they are driven from their family and home.
Every time a family has good food to eat and clean water to drink, every day that a child arrives at school or a sick person makes it to the clinic, it’s usually a woman who has fought for this small, daily victory over adversity.
-70% of those living in poverty are women
-Women in poor countries grow more than 60% of the food but own - less than 1% of the land
-Every minute a woman dies as a result of pregnancy complications
-Over 65m girls in this world dont make it to school, even if their brothers do.
-Early Marriage? It imprisons the girls concerned
-Violance Against Women? It is still universal
-A political voice? Women are barely heard in public life
-HIV/AIDS? 90% of the caring is done by women; over 18m of them are themselves carrying the virus
