“Ending
Violence Against Women”
For
this blog I have decided to choose the option two the article that talking about
“Ending Violence Against Women” since this topic has always appeal me, I decided
to read the article and watch the video. Both options the article and the video were
unfortunate with all the estimation rates that been estimated among women
globally. I will be talking about the
article which spoke about the various forms of violence against women globally.
The estimation rate is very unfortunate because
seeing that higher rates of women that been physical or sexual intimate partner
violence or sexual violence by a non-partner (not including sexual harassment)
at some point in their lives. According to the article is up than 70% of women
been women have experienced physical or sexual violence from an intimate
partner in their lifetime. Evidence shows that women who have experienced
physical or sexual intimate partner violence report higher rates of depression,
having an abortion and acquiring HIV, compared to women who have not. (www.unwomen.org, ending-violence-against-women).
The
statement is very hard to think or even believe that it’s still higher rate of
women in the world who still struggling from the violence in the world,
especially the Middle East countries and North Africa. I believe that the higher
number still estimated increasing cases and in the peak rates due to most of
these cases never been reported. The Article also was given very good example
of the reason why some regions or some countries in the world witnessing the
higher rates than the other countries because in Lebanon the likelihood of
perpetrating physical violence was more than three times higher among men who
had witnessed their fathers beating their mothers during childhood than those
who did not.
Violence
against women in general is a grave violation of human rights. Its impact
ranges from immediate to long-term multiple physical, sexual and mental
consequences for women for their career and future and contribute women’s death.
The violence is not affected women’s bodies physically
or mentally but will affect a whole entire society and the future of the
society too, because will impact on families and may destroy family and children.
All women have the right to live in free from any sort of violence and limit
all the higher rate cases to be lower or even disappeared globally by educating
women to call for their human rights and improve the quality of life.
The
article put the light on the violence against women and the inequality among women.
In order to improve the quality of women’s life and to decrease the higher
estimation of violence that been estimated and recorded against women. I Know
there is so many organizations that calling for women rights and each woman
should live free from violence but I believe it should be plans that enforce with
governments to develop the regulations and strengthening coordination to encourage
women to report violence cases against them and they have the power to improve
the their quality of life and live in the society where have free violence to
live in.
It is very saddening to know that woman are still subjected to forms of violence. This is something that is hard to understand due to another human willingly harming their own kind. I agree with what you stated about the government should enforce something to help with this issue. No one should undergo mental or physical abuse, but unfortunately it can be ingrained into young children if they witness a parent partaking in the violence. I hope one day this chain can be broken, and there will be a voice for those too scared to come forward for help.
