November 25th International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women


There are several types of violence against women: Domestic Violence, Sexual Violence, Harmful Traditional Practices, Trafficking in Women and Girls, etc. Some of them are more frequent in underdeveloped countries, but all of them may occur in developed countries as well, and very close to where we live.

Read some of the information linked below and then comment on what you learned or thought about this problem when were reading these pages. The following questions can help you with your comment:

- What was surprising for you in the information you have read about violence against women?
- Have you ever been a witness of this kind of violence? In that case, how did you feel?

The violence is manifesting every day with one or more deaths, very sad.. From my point of view: there are many medios of information to avoid these situations but we arent settleing nothing. Every day there are most cases of domestic violence and violence gender. I'm according to all question posed I hope that someday this problem disappears.

Hello to all.
My opinion with regard to the violence of genre is that I am in against, because only for being a woman, we do not have because to suffer. I know cases and they are very sad. It is necessary to help these women to have the value to be revealed, and denounce if we see something strange, we all can help.
Happy christmas
