The United Nations defined gender violence on December 20, 1993, as: "Any act of violence based on belonging to the female or is likely to result in damage or physical, sexual or psychological suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or private life ".
Gender violence continues;
This year 2014 to date, have been killed in Spain 45 women by their partners or former partners, 26 children have lost their mother.
In our region, so far this year there have been 2,433 calls to 112 women victims of domestic violence, asking for help to get out of this situation.
The roots of this violence are on the persistent inequality between women and men.
70% of women experience domestic violence in the course of his life.
It is terrible to talk about figures of women victims of violence, because each of these figures represents a woman who suffers or has been murdered, a shattered family and a trail of unrecoverable pain.
Today we want to hear;
throw your voice to every corner of our region, say enough of violence.
No woman has to stay voiceless, no woman or girl by the fact of being ill-treatment must be raped, harassed, discriminated against, or used for sexual exploitation.
Today we want to hear;
the voice of women who suffer gender violence not remain silent in the corners of loneliness, the complicity of a society that does not want to see or hear what is happening.
Institutions, men and women must denounce any act of inequality, we normalize or not we consent situations where women are mocked or used as mere objects, as this contributes to gender violence.
We must end the violence, so today we hear you on November 25;
which together with the outrage provoked by this violation of human rights, also hear a unanimous voice of hope.
We hear you, do not be complicit in those who exercise violence, of offenders who destroy the dignity and integrity of women.
Do not consent macho attitudes, let no man use gender violence as a weapon of power.
All around us there are men who use women, humiliate the insult.
If you shut up, you're helping to keep the situation.
Step up and say NO!
Women and men must walk together, share our time, our aspirations, to be co ... This society will only advance if we have the same rights, freedoms and opportunities.
You can only get a harmonious coexistence when the world, women, they are concerned with social justice, equity and equality.
Combating violence against women is not a problem for women is a social problem.
WHY TODAY ...
