The problems of violence against women and children are among the most important problems which presenting obstacles to the country’s development.
Many women and children have to suffer various forms of physical, mental and sexual violence in families, households, schools, workplaces or even in public places, while the society as a whole still lack understanding and awareness of the problems. Many victims of violence, therefore, never receive proper assistance and treatment.
‘violence against women’ in the international declaration on the elimination of violence against women as ‘ any actions of violence that are caused by gender prejudice, which cause suffering for women including coercions, threats, and deprivation of freedom both in public and private life”.
Violence against women is a grave violation of human rights. Its impact ranges from immediate to long-term multiple physical, sexual and mental consequences, including death.
In spite of the many international and regional treaties that protect children's rights, many children face threats and lack opportunities for access to education and health and social care.
They are victims of the worst forms of child labour, violence, sexual abuse, diseases, armed conflict and are exposed to discrimination, marginalisation and exclusion.
Still today, many women and girl children are suffering from various kinds of violence.
imply put, we must all do more to end violence against women in all its forms, wherever and whenever it occurs, and it starts by acknowledging it. There can be no conspiracy of silence.
he sad truth is that one in three women will experience gender-based violence in her lifetime. This violence knows no class, religious, or racial boundaries. And it comes at a terrible cost – not only for the woman or girl, but for families, communities, and entire countries. Preventing it is the only way to achieve a future of peace, stability, and prosperity.
We will not turn away in the face of evil and brutality. We stand up, and we reaffirm that all forms of gender-based violence will be not be tolerated. Not now, not ever.
