وقف العنف ضد المرأة: وقع هنا

Quote: """What kinds the women are you talking about?""" [Omitted] The poorest of the poor...Women: The indifference, apathy and impunity that allow violence against millions of women to persist is shocking. In countries around the world women suffer many forms of violence including genital mutilation, rape, torture, beatings by partners, and killings in the name of honour. The mass of the world's poor are women with no access to health care, education, and therfore no political participation. Women are being treated as breeding animals and beasts of burden! There will be no change until ALL the brutal ways through which men have kept women "in their place" are seen not as hollowed traditions but as what they are...crimes spawned by man's inhumanity to woman!!!! krista www.amnesty.nl My Name is Misty I am but three my eyes are swollen I cannot see I must not be loved for I am punished by cigarette burns I must do right I cant do wrong or else I'm locked up all day long when I awake Im all alone be quiet now!
