Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms that belong to every person in the world, from birth until death. They apply regardless of where you are from, what you believe or how you choose to live your life. They can never be taken away, although they can sometimes be restricted. These basic rights are based on shared values, that are defined and protected by law, like: dignity, fairness, equality, respect and independence.

Some of the gravest violations of the right to life are massacres, the starvation of entire populations, and genocide,which is commonly understood as the intentional extermination of a single ethnic, racial, or religious group.

Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation.
There has been progress over the last decades: more girls are going to school, fewer girls are forced into early marriage, more women are serving in parliament and positions of leadership, and laws are being reformed to advance gender equality.

Despite these gains, many challenges remain: discriminatory laws and social norms remain pervasive, , and 1 in 5 women and girls between the ages of 15 and 49 report experiencing physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner within a 12-month period.

Ending Violence against women and girls: If not you, who?

# data[].attributes.body
Violence against women is violent and deliberate behavior directed at women and takes many forms, whether moral or physical. The threat in any form, deprivation and limitation of women's freedom in their private or public life is a practice of violence against them.

Violence against women is a clear and explicit violation of human rights; it prevents them from enjoying their full rights and has serious consequences not only for women but also for society as a whole, with serious social and economic consequences.

Emotional abuse is defined as the repeated degrading of another person’s mental health and well-being through nonphysical actions. Even if a family member, friend, or romantic partner doesn’t get physically violent with you, they could still be emotionally abusing you. Emotional abuse, verbal abuse and psychological abuse are also harder to spot than physical abuse because the signs are generally less obvious than physical evidence of abuse. However, being in an emotionally abusive relationship can cause low self-esteem, PTSD, depression and other mental health problems.

The main sights of emotional abuse and toxic relationship are:

1. Constant criticism or attempts to manipulate and control

2. Shaming and blaming with hostile sarcasm or outright verbal assault

3. The use of shaming and belittling language

4. Verbal abuse — name-calling

5. Withholding affection as punishment

6. Punishment and threats of punishment

7. Refusal to accept her part in the dynamic

8. Mind games, such as gaslighting, when it comes to accepting personal responsibility for her own happiness

9. Refusing to communicate at all

10. Isolating him from supportive friends and family

The emotional abuse cycle follows the same pattern as that of physical abuse — once the victim of emotional abuse figures out what’s going on and starts thinking about leaving or seriously calls the abuser on his actions, the abuser will suddenly become very apologetic and romantic, trying to woo her back into the fold. He will buy flowers, cook suppers, tend to the children, or whatever else he has to do to make her believe that what she thinks she saw, what she believes to be true, is actually false.

"The single story creates stereotypes. And the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story."

"Power is the ability to not just to tell the story of another person, but to make it the definitive story of that person"

"The consequence of the single story is this: it robs people of dignity. It makes our recognition four equal humanity difficult, it emphasizes how we are different rather than how we are similar"

"When we reject the single story. when we realize that there is never a single story of any place, we regain a kind of paradise"

Psychological effects: Violence has a number of psychological problems, such as severe depression and mental disorder, which can lead the victim to suicide attempts as a result of the great psychological pressure that falls under him.

Social effects: Because women are active members of society, all that passes through them is reflected on their family and the community environment significantly, and the problems caused by violence against women, family disorders, which in turn reflected on children and may lead to mental and emotional instability.
