Equality Now

I was surfing the web in order to find information for my post and i found a website named Equalty Now. It is a website works to end violence and discrimination against women and girls around the world. EqualityNow concerns about: rape, domestic violence, traffiking of women, female genital mutilation, politcal participation, gender discriminaton, among other things. Equality Now was founded in 1992 to work for the protection and promotion of the human rights of women around the world. Equality Now shows the world violence and discrimination against women and mobilizes international action to support their efforts to stop these human rights abuses.They distribute information about human rigts violations, take actiosn to protest those violations and bring public attention. This asosiation is callng for justice and equality for women.

I think this asosiation rocks Women su be treated with respect like men are treated. we have the same rights as them and our rights should be respected.

In the website i also read some this:

• 
  
  India: A 10-year-old girl is rescued by a flight attendant who notices her crying. Her father has sold her to the 60-year-old Saudi Arabian man sitting next to her for the equivalent of US$240.

  Kenya: At a boarding school, 300 boys attack the girls' dormitory. Seventy-one girls are raped. Nineteen are trampled to death in the stampede to escape. The school's vice principal remarks, "The boys never meant any harm against the girls. They just wanted to rape."


• 
  
  Brazil: A man who confessed to stabbing his wife and her lover to death is for the second time acquitted of murder by an all-male jury. The acquittal is based on the argument that he acted in legitimate defense of his wronged honor.


• 
  
  Ireland: A 14-year-old girl, raped by the father of her best friend, learns she is pregnant. She is prohibited from travelling to England where abortion is legal. Only when she indicates she will commit suicide if forced to carry the pregnancy to term does the Supreme Court allow her to proceed.


• 
  
  United States: A 51-year-old woman is stabbed 19 times and killed by her former boyfriend as she waits inside a courthouse to extend an order of protection. Twice before he had been charged with harassment. Both times the charges were dropped
