Amnesty International Launches Global Campaign to Stop Violence
Against Women
http://web.amnesty.org/mav/index/engact770212004
"Violence against women is a cancer eating away the core of every
society, in every country of the world," Irene Khan Secretary
General of Amnesty International said today at the launch of the
organization's global campaign to stop violence against women.
Whether in times of peace or war, women are subjected to atrocities
simply because they are women. Millions of women are beaten, raped,
murdered, assaulted, mutilated and even denied the right to ever
exist. At least one in three women in the world will suffer serious
violence in their lifetime.
Unveiling its worldwide 'Stop Violence Against Women' Campaign,
Amnesty International called for urgent action by every man and
woman to end this outrageous scandal.
"This is not something that just happens over there, it happens
here. It is not something that only happens to other people, it
happens to you, your friends and your family. Until all of us, men
as well as women, say 'no, I will not let this happen', it will not
stop," said Irene Khan.
