Report Violence Against Women

July 82010

Public toilets have been constructed in many informal settlements across the country in the last few years. But the ‘flying toilets’ they are meant to replace continue to be used. why? Because of men that stalk women and young girls in the public facilities after dark. a report released by amnesty international says rapists and muggers make it impossible for women to venture out at night. This increases the risk of diseases like cholera and dysentery when they go to the bathroom in their homes. Titled ‘insecurity and indignity’, the report accuses the government of failing to provide security to protect women from sexual violence.

Sin by Silence
A film by Olivia Klaus
Since 1989, Convicted Women Against Abuse, the first inmate-initiated and -led group inside the US prison system, has changed laws for battered women, raised awareness for those on the outside, and educated a system that does not fully comprehend the complexities of domestic abuse. From behind prison walls, SIN BY SILENCE shatters misconceptions and reveals the extraordinary lives of women who have killed their abusers and now advocate for a future free from domestic violence.
