Violence against women
Violence against women and girls is a major health and human rights concern. Women can experience physical or mental abuse throughout their lifecycle, in infancy, childhood and/or adolescence, or during adulthood or older age. While violence has severe health consequences for the affected, it is a social problem that warrants an immediate coordinated response from multiple sectors.
The Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women (1993) defines violence against women as "any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or mental harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life."
This encompasses, inter alia, "physical, sexual and psychological violence occurring in the family and in the general community, including battering, sexual abuse of children, dowry-related violence, rape, female genital mutilation and other traditional practices harmful to women, non-spousal violence and violence related to exploitation, sexual harassment and intimidation at work, in educational institutions and elsewhere, trafficking in women, forced prostitution, and violence perpetrated or condoned by the state."
Is battering just a psychological problem?
No. The ultimate answer to why does he batter is: BECAUSE HE CAN. What that means is that the society has given him the idea that a woman is property, his home his castle. Behavior he knows he'd never get away with in the outside world, seems to be permitted at home.
(Some batterers are also aggressive outside the home - this is not a good sign but at least it makes this type of man more predictable. The inconsistency of many batterers' behavior at home vs. outside is more confusing for us to grasp.)
So we're saying that not all men are batterers, it takes special circumstances to motivate abusive personalities - but once formed, these men who might like to abuse many people get the message that there will be consequences for so doing everywhere EXCEPT with his woman. That's what is meant by he does it BECAUSE HE CAN.
Another way to put this is to say that it takes a combination of culture and family dysfunction to create an abusive personality.
(i) 1 in 2 women have a chance of being raped in their lifetime
(II) A woman is raped every 26 seconds in South Africa
(III) More than 40% of perpetrators are known to the rape survivor.
(IV) Less than 2% of reported rapes are false
(V) Most rapes occur within the rapists community
(VI) 1 in 4 women are in an abusive relationship
(VII) A woman is killed every 6 days by her intimate male partner in South Africa.
(VIII) Women are more likely to be attacked by someone they know than by a stranger

"When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight."

REQUIEM TO OLD FLICKR...
Thanks a lot for visits and comments, my friends.

Again and again, however we know the landscape of love
and the little churchyard there, with its sorrowing names,
and the frighteningly silent abyss into which the others
fall: again and again the two of us walk out together
under the ancient trees, lie down again and again
among the flowers, face to face with the sky.

Death has no place at birth.
Unexpected, unexplained, unbearable.
Our beautiful baby granddaughter didn't take her first breath. There's no need to comment, Flickr friends, this is just my way of easing sadly, quietly and gradually back into life and Flickr. I know you'll be shocked.

"Sorrow's Kiss" with Kat Von Tease and Bex. Styled by Michelle Hope, Head Dress by Demons & Diamonds
“ Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place. ”
― Rumi
I can honestly say, this has to be one of my favorite quotes. New image “Sorrow”.

Questo scatto fa parte di un portfolio (composto da 16 scatti) sul Cimitero monumentale della Certosa di Bologna, che man mano pubblicherò. L'unico freno che avevo era il rispetto per i defunti, pertanto ho fatto in modo di non ritrarre ne nomi per intero, ne foto.
A sorrow's crown of sorrow
is remembering happier times.
Bear and endure: This sorrow will one day
prove to be for your good.

You say just one word
Just one whisper
Hurry to say just one word
To remind me of our grace
Silence growing mad
How did it get so sad?
Leave behind all the mess we made
Are we innocent?
