Violence against women: confronting the silence
My comments on the post:
'Great Article! A very sad reality for many... and no comments here at all!
These are however great food for thoughts, as the arguments put forward here should certainly sensitise even more the academic communities & social sciences officials into active responses with further research and open forums, bringing forward and discussing openly, as well as more frequently this major gender issue. Educational events and cultural understanding might spur the wider communities into the realisation of the urgency for community programmes to be put in place and be implemented for the future benefit of the whole society.
A whole community should be mobilised for that grand purpose alone!
The sad widespread tendencies of societies worldwide, is to keep on vilifying women! Many societies still view them as a threat and a competition!!! The sad truth is undermining women is not only undignified to the women themselves, but even more so to the men in their communities, be it through their lurid active participation, or even equally more harmful, through their silent consent!!
For whatever reasons, people seem to fail to recognise the importance of upholding women's healthy development and respectable status quo, to be projected in their own highly regarded persons, as much as cultivated personas and elevated gender representation in every community. These are vital in order for them to be productive people and constructive valuable members of their society...after all they represent the mothers of their children...(added) if not their own!!
They are the teachers and professors; the nurses and doctors; the scientists and astronauts; the lawyers, financial partners and public speakers; the policewomen keeping order in the streets...and most of all, they are the unrecognised best friend and mate of every man who knows the value of being raised at the shoulders of a great woman!
If men are going to stop behaving like curious animals, then they need to be raised like cultivated men and well natured human beings! For if women are to progress within a society in which they are major contributors, the men in that society must progress too! They hold the other half representing any society. Many fail to realise that the pull of any society cannot happen one half against the other, and sadly when one is pulled down, the other will follow fast, tumbling down and crumbling all together!
Women ought to be elevated and celebrated, they need to stand up for themselves in order to truly uplift the standards of living in any society and country. It is imperative therefore, to highlight the role of men in raising the standards of a country. They are the first to be shamed and degraded should they not stand by their women! In every society and every culture...no exception! Women will never be considered the ones to be shamed for the downfall of their society… It is the men who will hold full responsibility for the degradation of their society! If women are denigrated, they are the victims and the men are the perpetrators. These are the realities stemming from blatant social inequalities, and sadly they do represent the majority of cases (no doubt, innumerable statistics & research would be found at your end!).
If anyone should rise, it is the men, in defence and in support, not just in protest! It is decent men as gentlemen who should hold the banner of Respectability & Honour, not through barbaric force, not through reactive violence, and certainly not through ignorance and indifference! But through dignified behaviour and noble actions giving the rights for women to stand up, head held high in pride and praise, shoulder to shoulder and hand to hand as a true and respectable equal in every way and aspects of our life…even if one might be taller than the other!...
It is high time to realise that Equality is not about physical differences and strange features, it is not about a different skin colour or tone of voice! It is about celebrating what make us all one, reflecting our own humanity in each other's person.
This is called taking responsibility for one's actions!... And should any man rise to respectability, he will only rise through the dignified rise of a respectable woman.'
