16 days against violence: women are fighting for their rights worldwide!

In the current campaign "16 days against violence on women", which began on November 25th and lasted until December 10th, the urgent problem of gender violence is made aware worldwide. Initiatives such as "Red Shoes" and "Orange the World" use striking colors to point out these predicament. In Lilienfeld, however, the local counseling centers complain about the alarming numbers: In the current year, the district already recorded 30 bans and rapprochement bans, which shows how urgently these awareness measures are necessary, such as noen.at reported.

global dimension of violence

However, reality is even more terrifying: every fourth young person and every third woman experiences violence in the course of her life. Last year women and girls were killed by partners or family members every ten minutes, which underlines the urgency of such campaigns. These global facts require attention and holistic solutions, such as Hrw.org notes. The situation in Afghanistan, under the rule of the Taliban, is particularly questionable, where girls from the sixth grade are excluded from the school attendance and women are simply banished from public life. Restrictions such as the ban on leaving the house without male accompaniment and the obligation to fully cover up in public are part of a systematic discrimination.

While the international community fails in many cases, the campaign "16 days against violence against women" throws a skill light on these grievances and urges to actively oppose such serious violations of human rights. Determined measures by decision -makers are essential to bring about a significant change and to implement measures to combat violence against women and girls.
