The Only Way to Stop Violence Against Women Is to Study Human Rights

Education Is the Key

We must fight abuse, slavery, and violence, through education.

It is shocking, but almost nobody today knows what are women’s rights (not even human rights). This leads to a great deal of discrimination, violence, marginalization, crime, and more.

The data collected by https://www.womankind.org.uk/ is the following:

• 1 in 3 women around the world experience violence (source. World Health Organization).
• 58% of all women murdered in 2017 were killed by an intimate partner or a family member (source. United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, 2018).
• Around 650 million women across the globe were married before the age of 18 (source. Unicef, 2018).
• Over 200 million women and girls in 30 countries have undergone female genital mutilation (source. Unicef, 2016).
• 71% of all human trafficking involves women and girls — mainly for sexual exploitation (source. UNODC, 2016).

November 25th is the International Day dedicated to the fight against violence upon women, so everyone should know which are their specific rights. Especially women.
