FORUM / Prekinuti začarani krug: novo lice muškosti
« Last post by Mia on March 22, 2013, 07:50:36 pm »
Rezultati različitih istraživanja sprovedenih među mladićima srednjoškolcima u BiH, pokazuju da 40% njih ne odobrava fizičko nasilje, ali tek 20% ne bi upotrebilo silu da odbrani svoju čast. Čak 7% njih je ošamarilo ženu. 69% mladih u BiH je bilo u nasilnoj vezi.
 
Ove alarmantne statistike pokazuju da je problem nasilja nad ženama također i problem muškaraca, problem čitavog društva. 
 
Šta znači kada mladići kažu da 'brane svoju čast' upotrebom sile? Šta znači biti muškarac u našem društvu?
 
'Biti pravi muškarac' je često uloga koju moramo da igramo, niz pravila koja  nalažu da se ponašamo u skladu sa vrijednostima koje nam društvo nameće. No, dobra vijest je da se te vrijednosti i uloge mogu mijenjati. 
 
U okviru završnog događaja kampanje UN agencija u BiH „Muškarci udruženi protiv nasilja nad ženama'' prikazuje se dokumentarni film Novo lice muškosti – uklanjanje stereotipa i usvajanje novih normi.
 
U filmu govore muškarci o očekivanjima koje je pred njih postavljalo društvo, pitanjima koje su postavljali sebi i drugima o tome šta znači biti muškarac, promjenama u prihvatanju stereotipa koje se mogu desiti kroz obrazovanje i učenje kroz pozitivne primjere.
 
Film se prikazuje u Mediacentru Sarajevo u ponedeljak, 25.03. 2013. godine, sa početkom u 17.00.
 
Nakon projekcije, slijedi diskusija u kojoj učestvuju: Damir Zeković, trener pri Asocijaciji XY;  Borka Rudić, novinarka i generalna tajnica Udruženja BH novinari; Saša Gavrić, direktor Sarajevskog otvorenog centra i član Lige pravih muškaraca; Nermina Vehabović Rudež, psihologinja. Moderator/ica: Slobodanka Boba Dekić, Mediacentar Sarajevo.
 
Kampanja „Muškarci udruženi protiv nasilja nad ženama''  pokrenuta je u novembru 2012. godine, sa ciljem da promovira ulogu zajednice i društvenu odgovornost kada je u pitanju prevencija nasilja, te povećanje fokusa na ovo pitanje da bi podstakao proces promjene postojećih stavova društva.
 
Jedna od aktivnosti kampanje je i osnivanje “Lige pravih muškaraca” koju čine muškаrci iz svijeta politike, novinаrstvа, muzike, filmа, sporta i drugih oblasti, a koji se bore protiv nаsiljа nаd ženаmа i djevojčicama. 
 
Ban Ki-Moon, Generalni sekretar Ujedinjenih nacija je 2008. godine pokrenuo Mrežu lidera, kao dio nastojanja da se muškarci uključe u rješavanje problema nasilja nad ženama i zauzmu jasan stav prema njegovom sprečavanju, te da putem zagovaranja i politika djelovanja, budu pozitivan primjer mladim muškarcima i dječacima.

FORUM / Michelle Bachelet: Reclaiming Public Spaces for the Empowerment of Women
« Last post by Mia on March 17, 2013, 07:31:57 pm »
"Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am pleased to be with you as we gather to talk about a subject critical to the well-being of millions of women and girls around the globe.

This subject seems, at first glance, so simple and straightforward so that we take it often for granted.

It is about the ability of women and girls to be safe in public spaces – it’s about being able to wait for a bus…ride a subway…sell goods in a marketplace…walk to school be in the school, a store or a voting booth…swim in a pool…visit a friend – safely and peacefully. But so often, women and girls are in fear of public spaces –they get accosted, threatened, harassed or assaulted.

Violence against women and girls takes place every day in public spaces around the globe. Most cases, however, remain hidden – unspoken, unreported, unaddressed.

But sometimes…sometimes…the acts are so horrific that when publicized they draw the outcry, the revulsion and condemnation of people everywhere…and they rally millions to demand change.

You heard me say it before – this happened last October when Malala Yousufzai, a 14-year-old Pakistani girl was shot by an assailant who boarded her school bus.

It happened in December when a 23-year-old medical student was robbed, gang-raped and thrown off a bus in New Delhi. All she wanted to do is get home safely after watching a movie. How many of you here in this room take it for granted to get home safely after an evening out with friends?

And it’s not just happening in the evening – it happened last month when Kepari Leniata, a 20-year-old Papua New Guinea mother, accused of witchcraft, was tortured and burned alive on a public street in broad daylight.

And it happens everywhere! More than 1 million women are stalked in the United States each year. Women and girls are kidnapped and sold into sexual slavery in Europe. Indigenous women disappear along British Columbia’s notorious Route 16, now called “The Highway of Tears.”

Instead of letting ourselves be overwhelmed by the staggering number of these incidents…

Instead of being paralyzed by the heart-rending stories of each individual victim…

Instead of being disheartened by what the prevalence of such violence might say about the state of humanity in the 21st century…

Let us speak; let us act; let us rise.

Events like our being together today allow us to share our experiences, our ideas and our recommendations to aid women and girls, our fellow human beings at risk around the world. If I have one hope, it is that when you leave this room after our meeting you are determined to take ACTION – to do what you can do to put an end to this.

We find ourselves at a unique global moment and opportunity. The momentum is there to break through the barriers to ending sexual violence and harassment in public spaces.

Research sponsored by the UN Safe Cities Global Initiative, for example, reveals that women and girls identify sexual harassment and fear of violence in public spaces as inhibiting their lives, and they are ready to break their silence about it and collectively move to action.

At UN Women, we are committed to working with the members of this panel, the members of this audience and all people of good will to bring experiences, diverse resources and determination to the table to maximize our impact and serve as a catalyst for change.

UN Women works collaboratively with UN-Habitat, UNICEF, UN Development Programme, and numerous global and local partners—including Huairou Commission, Women in Cities International, Women and HABITAT Network Latin America, and Groots International.

We work with many partners in cities across regions to develop innovative strategies to tackle this most important issue. We do this because we know that we have to unite to have greater and faster impact.

New cities are joining in our work all the time – including, most recently, Dublin, Ireland. In fact, our goal was to involve 35 cities by 2017, but that goal will be reached this year, in 2013.

And the Safe Cities program is already making a difference. In Quito, Ecuador, for example, women were encouraged to break the silence about their experiences through a public awareness letter-writing campaign. Some 10,000 letters were submitted and resulted in an amended city ordinance recognizing violence against women in public spaces.

In Rio de Janeiro, it’s making a difference through the use of mapping technologies to identify safety concerns in 10 of the city’s high-risk areas.

And it’s making a difference in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, where women organized a market vendor association and local government invested in improvements to ensure safety and a cleaner working environment.

I am excited and encouraged every day by the progress I see around me in this area. I know we have a long way to go, but change is happening.

I thank you for being here and I thank you for all you do.

I look forward to our conversation today and tomorrow and to our actions for many days to come. Let us work together for freedom and justice for all women and girls."

FORUM / UN Women welcomes Agreed Conclusions at the Commission on Status of Women
« Last post by Mia on March 17, 2013, 07:25:45 pm »
At the conclusion of the 57th session of the Commission on the Status of Women, UN Women welcomes the outcome of the meeting. The Agreed Conclusions are a testimony to the commitment of Member States to do the right thing, to prevent and eliminate violence against women and girls. In the last two weeks during the meeting in New York, and in the lead-up to this session, we witnessed global engagement and mobilization, high-profile advocacy by civil society, and determined leadership by many Member States. Expectations of the world’s women and girls were extremely high for this session of the Commission.

Violence against women is a universal problem that requires, and has now received, a universal response. Violence occurs in multiple forms in all countries and settings; it harms women and their families and communities, impedes development, and costs countries billions of dollars annually in healthcare costs and lost productivity. In 2003, when the Commission took up violence against women and human rights, Member States were unable to reach agreement. Thus I am particularly heartened that agreement was reached this year to end violence against women and girls. This agreement comes in unison with rising voices worldwide saying enough is enough.

The document adopted by the Commission condemns in the strongest terms the pervasive violence against women and girls, and calls for increased attention and accelerated action for prevention and response. UN Women welcomes the important focus on prevention, including through education and awareness-raising, and addressing gender inequalities in the political, economic and social spheres. The best way to end violence against women is to stop it from happening in the first place.

The document highlights the importance of putting in place multi-sectoral services for survivors of violence, including for health, psychological support and counseling, social support in the short and long term. It draws attention to the need for services to protect the right to sexual and reproductive health. Punishment of perpetrators is also highlighted as a critical measure to end impunity, as is the need to improve the evidence base and availability of data to inform an effective response.

By adopting this document, governments have made clear that discrimination and violence against women and girls has no place in the 21st century. They have reaffirmed their commitment and responsibility to undertake concrete action to end violence against women and girls and promote and protect women’s human rights and fundamental freedoms.

The agreement is one step more for realizing the rights and dignity of women and girls. But we cannot stop here. We need to do so much more. Words now need to be matched with deeds, with action. Now is the time for implementation and accountability. We must continue moving forward with courage, conviction and commitment.

UN Women, together with our partners in the UN system, will continue to advance the rights of women and girls through strong and coordinated support. We will work with Member States to turn the Agreed Conclusions of the Commission on the Status of Women into concrete results for women and girls.

We will move forward and build on the basis of the international agreements on women’s rights reached over many years, as articulated in the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), the Beijing Platform for Action, the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development, and other agreements and treaties.

There is no turning back. We will keep moving forward to the day when women and girls can live free of fear, violence and discrimination. The 21st century is the century of inclusion and women’s full and equal rights and participation.
