STOP Violence Against Women
Foto made by Robin verstraeten
Stop Violence Against Women is een wereldwijde campagne van Amnesty International om geweld tegen vrouwen tegen te gaan .
Het begon op 5 maart 2004, als voorbereiding op Internationale Vrouwendag . Het is een van de belangrijkste campagnes van Amnesty. Amnesty meent dat huiselijken seksueel geweld ernstige schendingen van de mensenrechten zijn en dat Amnesty hen moet confronteren. De campagne richt zich op het beëindigen van straffeloosheid voor degenen die dergelijk geweld plegen, door overheden onder druk te zetten om individuen te vervolgen en wetten te wijzigen om vrouwen te beschermen. Amnesty maakt zich met name zorgen over het aantal gevallen van verkrachting en ander geweld dat is gepleegd bij conflicten zoals de Tweede Congolese oorlog en het conflict in Darfur.

Achter de schermen
Mrs Netherlands Universe stand up for Stop violence against women!
1 out of 3 women wil be a victim of violence in their life. Most of these women who are in a abusive relationship are scared or to ashamed to speak out or call for help. They are being mentally and/or physically abused by their husband or boyfiend. No women deserves to be beaten up or be slighted by the one who supposed to love them unconditionally. No women deserves to feel these kind of pain or to have tears in their eyes. We as all women need to stand up for these women and their children, and show them that they are not alone. No man has the right to treat a women this way! We can help these women by raising more awareness about this big global problem.
Poem by me:
Do not accept the hand that gave you the pain.
Do not accept the kiss after the bad words.
Do not accept the presents after things are broken.
Do not accept the sweet words after the tears.
Do not accept I LOVE YOU after you`ve got the
strength to pull yourself up again.
Are you a victim of domestic violence, or do you know someone who is in a abusive relationship? please don't hesitate and call for help. You are not alone!
