Color the World Orange is an awareness destination supporting the UN Women's 16 Days Campaign Against Gender-based Violence from November 25th to December 10th. It's a relaxing and healing region where everyone can come to hang-out with friends, enjoy the zen view and listen to nature or meditate and have self-reflections. You can also discover Bryn Oh's work Lady Carmagnolle in the hidden garden.
Why having this campaign in our virtual world?
Let's face it! Gender-based abuse also exists virtually, it may be in an unintentional or intentional form. The extent of this violence may not be physical but will always result to short-term or long-term emotional trauma and anxiety to the member victims resulting to a violation of the Community of Standards (not TOS) of SL. Raising awareness in-world will give us reminders that one cannot just violate and do things according to their pleasure in-world with the expense of another person/ persons. It is time to at least put light into this issue by supporting us.
ABUSE IS NOT ALWAYS PHYSICAL.
This abuse can we also experience online specially here in SL.
Often we hear these:
- Women can't do anything.
. You are manipulating me.
- She's just a girl.
- You're not even pretty.
- I never wanted a daughter.
- You cannot wear that.
- You need to lose some weight or you'll never find anybody.
- You're useless.
- Don't be such a woman.
Abuse is not always physical and it doesn’t always leave visible scars. #OrangeTheWorld #16Days
