Let's empower men and help them take a stand to stop acts of violence against women.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Unless men are active allies, we'll never end violence against women and girls.
Calling gender violence a women's issue is part of the problem. It gives a lot of men an excuse not to pay attention.
Let men decide firmly what they will not do, and they will be free to do vigorously what they ought to do.
Gender equality will only be reached if we are able to empower women.
As a human rights issue, the effort to end violence against women becomes a government's obligation, not just a good idea.
We need to empower women. Give women a voice in the decision-making process. Give women a political voice where they can champion, for their own welfare. And, of course, for us. United Nations - organizations, agencies - we need to do our part.
I want to empower women.
We women are going to bring change. We are speaking up for girls' rights, but we must not behave like men, like they have done in the past.
We have to give feminism a shot. Out of sheer self preservation, we have to stand aside and let women run the show.
As women are empowered, violence can come down, for a number of reasons. By all measures, men are the more violent gender.
