Gender Based Violence is not a woman's issue but an issue that concerns everyone in the society.
That "ei no concern me" word should stop. How can you see a woman being beaten by her husband repeatedly and you say it does not concern you. If it were your sister it would.
Let's stop using the sentence "one man for yiself" because we can't live in this world alone. Gender Based Violence is a violation of Human Right and if it must come to an end. We need to start treating everyone around us as us. This fight is a collective one and not that of a particular sex.
When we talk as ONE, violence against Women comes out from behind closed doors. Violence against Women and girls in most societies, goes unrecognized and unreported because the victims are afraid to communicate about it. Violence against Women is a public issue and a public concern that affects all segments of the society. We all share the responsibility to end it because it still remains a threat to peace, development and security anywhere in the world.
We all can fight this together by making the perpetrators pay while creating a safe place for victims to report their perpetrators.
