WOMEN WERE CREATED AS EQUALS RIGHT?

In today's day in age, Women have fought and fought to been seen as equals. In North America and other parts of the world Women have become triumphant in many of their battles.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights ( 1948-2008)

it is a historic time to recognize the collective work of human rights defenders around the world, secure the international conventions and treaties that make up the human rights framework and reclaim the principles of the 1948 declaration which have taken a great setback by the rise of religious extremism, globalization and militarization. Today, feminist, peace activists and human rights defenders around the world calling on governments as well as global civil societies and demanding to put an end to violence against women. The dream of living in a world with peace, security and respect to human rights can no longer be “ deferred”.



With all this being said...Why do women in many parts of the world such as, Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan still have to fear for their lives and safety? The sexual assault and rape that is taking place both in the Iraq and afghan wars. Not to mention the same acts of violence and terror that are committed against women in the US and Canada everyday are being ignored and disregarded. Why???



Women all over the world, No matter From which walk of life should be treated as equals.

These are the mothers of our children, Our wives, we also ask them to defend our front lines in battle. So why is it that they are being beaten sexually, emotionally, physically and mentally? They are often treated worse then that of a mildly neglected dog. Why do We as men feel that we have the right and the power to do so at our leisure?.



Dec 10th which is the International Human Rights day. It is also know as“ White Ribbon Day” in South Africa, UK and Canada. The White Ribbon is a symbol of hope for a world where women and girls can live with dignity and without fear of violence. This is a Symbol and a day that should be seen and recognized by ALL countries and humans around the world.

To recognize this to me anyways, shows acceptance that these acts against women exist and that we support them in their fight for awareness and equality. To me it is a shame that this day has to exist at all because women were created as equals right?

How can children trust those who hurt them????

This is the exact kind of thing that disgusts me.
the article that i am speaking about, Describes a situation in Katmandu where Police incidentally who we are suppose to trust with the safety of our lives and to protect us against acts of harm, tortured children some as young as 13 yrs old!!
200 Cases have been reported so far in 2008 stating that both boys and girls who were arrested for petty crimes have been beaten in the following ways to extract confessions....The group said

"the police beat and tortured the children in a variety of ways, including kicking and punching them, inserting metal nails under their toenails and hitting the soles of their feet with bamboo sticks and plastic pipes"
for more info on the article please see the link provided at the bottom of the page.

Children are the key to our future.Without them our existence is null and void.
We should be inspiring them to make change, not to fear those who are there to protect them.!!!

the right to live free

Living Free is a Right NOT a privilege Despite some views!There are people in this world that feel human rights is something that needs to be earned Not practiced.
The genocides/holocausts and social injustices including those pertaining to The CHILDREN of this world are often because of somebody's idealistic views ( often someone who is in power) And feels because they are in power,That their views and their thought process should be put into motion.
Whatever happened to the term " We are all created as equals" Why has this been thrown to the gutter and discarded as a pipe dream?????
when will it be realized that everyone in this world should be here for the same purpose, To contribute to a world that will forever exist, Not one that will squander it's own people to carry out a political agenda?
