International Women’s Day: Chinese women speak out against abuse

Time: 1:30 PM (Canada/Eastern)

Location: North York Civic Centre, 5100 Yonge St.

Chinese women speak out against abuse

Chinese-Canadian “Women Ambassadors” will mark International Women’s Day Saturday, March 8 by speaking on why they volunteered to educate others on domestic violence.

The event, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at North York Civic Centre, 5100 Yonge St., “aims to change traditional Chinese attitudes that regard domestic violence as a shameful private matter” rather than the crime it is, program hosts the Chinese Canadian National Council – Toronto Chapter said this week.

The group’s Women Ambassadors Project recruited 22 volunteers this year to teach their community about domestic violence and the justice system’s response to it in Canada.

“International Women’s Day is an excellent opportunity to share this important information and celebrate the contributions of women in the community and in supporting each other,” the organization said in a statement.

In Mandarin and English, the program includes separate talks by a police officer and a former lawyer from China, plus Meri Kahani, “an innovative play addressing the challenges faced by South Asian survivors of abuse.”

These are only few examples of violence against women that happens a lot in Brazil. We are tired. We want HELP.

Brazilian men really scare me. Not only remembering the case of Pimenta Neves, the rich man that killed his wife with a scissor just because she went out of home without asking, but many other cases that happens everyday. TV shows like Brasil Urgente, hosted by José Luís Datena, shows at least 4 or 5 cases everyday of abuse against women, pedophilia or abuse agains elder people.

Violence in Brazil is not only drugs and robery, there is the violence against women too.

Please, help brazilian women. I know we have a wrong image, thanks to Embratur, but we are not and small bikinis, we have a heart. Not all brazilian women have a beautiful body, but they can be very caring moms. Please, help us.
