UN calls for strong action to eliminate violence against women
I'd be interested in reading the WHO report they reference here. Every time I read research that reaches these conclusions, it always turns out to be poorly conducted advocacy research...
The United Nations today marked the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women with calls for states to take legal action against the global scourge, for societies to change a mindset that permits such abuse, and for women themselves to stand up and speak out against a culture of shame. Yes, let's call for an end to violence against women, and after that perhaps we should call for an end to all family violence? Here is a link to the original report: Anyone have the time to take a look at it? 09:52 AM, 28 Nov 2005 by Jade Rubick Permalink |
