Speech on violence against women's in in the world

Answer 1

Hey mate

Here is ur answer

Violence against women is a worldwide yet still hidden problem. Freedom from the threat of harassment, battering, and sexual assault is a concept that most of us have a hard time imagining because violence is such a deep part of our cultures and our lives. Consider these facts:

Battering is the leading cause of injury to women aged 15 44 in the U.S.

The FBI, which gathers data from law enforcement officials, indicated that 102,555 women were victims of rape in 1990.

In contrast to the FBI data, the Rape in America study estimates that 683,000 women are raped every year.

Approximately 50% of the homeless women and children in this country are on the streets because of violence in their homes.

One-fifth to one-half of U.S. women were sexually abused as children at least once, most of them by an older male relative.

Nearly two-thirds of women who receive public assistance ("welfare") have been abused by an intimate partner at some time in their adult lives.

Given these facts, it is not surprising that the Vienna Declaration and Program of Action calls violence against women a violation of the human rights of a majority of the world's population. Women are statistically safer out on the street than they are in their homes.

Violence against women is woven into the fabric of society to such an extent that many of us who are victimized feel that we are at fault. Many of those who perpetrate violence feel justified by strong societal messages that say that rape, battering, sexual harassment, child abuse, and other forms of violence are acceptable. Every day we see images of male violence against women in the news, on TV shows, in the movies, in advertising, and in our homes and workplaces. It is a fact of life for women of all ages, races, and classes.
