No more Impunity: Stop violence against women

Chance insignificance to sexual harassment is intolerable, the head of the UN unit delegated to encourage gender equality said, urging women and men to change their response to acts of sexual aggression. In an opinion piece, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of UN Women, sharp to the “pain and anger” of more than a million people who posted #MeToo on social media.

“What we are seeing currently, as women build and reinforce each other's accounts, and as men join in to acknowledge their role, is a validation of the rightness of speaking out,” Ms. Mlambo-Ngcuka assumed. She added that “we are seeing also the strength in numbers that comes from accumulated individual experiences that are characteristically undeclared.”

We want to have all women authorized to express, their rights and bodies appreciated, and manners recognized and ingrained as ordinary that let no one off the hook. No more impunity. We salute the thousands of women who have been struggling against all destructions of women's and girls' rights and call for rehabilitated stock in the fight to end all violence against women, she mentioned.

The #MeToo hashtag on track with Tarana Burke, a New York community organizer helping women of color, and touched fame when actress Alyssa Milano picked up the message, with people all over the world writing #MeToo if they also have been sexually victimised. The critical mass shows

“how much goes wrong when people can act with impunity in a culture of silence” and sounds on “good men” to declare out and not be inaudible observer.
