超过20万韩国网友在青瓦台网站上就具荷拉事件发起请愿,要求严惩以私密视频威胁报复女性的行为;他们还发起了名为“别害怕,姐姐来了”的游行活动。 Twenty-eight-year-old Goo Hara, a former member of K-pop girl group Kara, was found dead at her home on Sunday, according to South Korea's Yonhap News Agency. Earlier on May 26, she tried to commit suicide at her home after midnight, but was found by her agent and sent to a hospital.
In September 2018, Goo filed a lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend after the man physically assaulted her and threatened to damage her career by exposing an illicit video of her. Goo's experience sparked sympathy among South Korean women. A petition with more than 200,000 signatures was launched by South Korean net users, which asked the government to take an investigation into the event. Besides, female protesters also took to the street to show their supports.
November 25 marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
The United Nations defines violence against women as "any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual, or mental harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life."
古特雷斯呼吁各国政府、私营部门、民间团体、民众,坚决反对各种针对女性的暴力行为,“必须给幸存者、倡导者、妇女权利维护者以更有力的声援”。 The 2019 theme for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women is “Orange the World: Generation Equality Stands Against Rape.”
António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations(UN) on Friday, made an address, saying that violence against women and girls is among the world’s most horrific, persistent, and widespread human rights violations. He pointed out that the stigma, misconceptions, underreporting, and poor enforcement of the laws only perpetuate impunity. Guterres called on governments, the private sector, civil society, and people worldwide to take a firm stand against violence and to show greater solidarity with survivors, advocates, and women’s rights defenders.
“家庭暴力,
不是一个家庭关起门来的私事,
而是关乎整个社会的事情”
在生活中,家庭暴力更是一种不容忽视的针对女性的暴力行为。 2001年,一部《不要和陌生人说话》的电视剧让更多中国观众了解“家暴”,剧中的丈夫安嘉和更是成为了“家暴”的符号。图源:豆瓣电影 Domestic violence, also named domestic abuse or family violence, is violence or other abuse by one person against another in a domestic setting, such as in marriage or cohabitation. This kind of violence perpetrated by intimate partners also makes female victims suffer a lot. 为了让“家暴”受害者能得到庇护,勇敢“对暴力说不”,国家也做了诸多努力。2016年3月1日,《中华人民共和国反家庭暴力法》正式实施,为受害者撑起了法律的“保护伞”。
而相关部门、企业和社会组织也在创新“庇护模式”。如浙江省杭州市妇联推出了“e家和”在线服务平台,主要包括“一键报警”、“伤情鉴定”、“庇护所”、“人身安全保护令”等在线功能;江苏省常州市妇联和连锁酒店企业合作,推出“家庭暴力社会庇护点”,为受暴者搭建“安全屋”。 China has made a great effort to fight against domestic violence. On March 1, 2016, "Anti-Domestic Violence Law of the People's Republic of China" went into effect, which provides legal protection for victims. After the implementation of the law, local authorities also improved relevant rules and established schemes to protect domestic violence victims, such as issuing personal safety protection orders. Besides, various measures have been taken to help victims of domestic violence, like an online platform developed to provide 24-hour supports and special refuges set up to give accommodation.
“消除对妇女暴力,
世界在行动”
法国
我们所有人(#NousToutes)运动
11月23日,在法国各个城市,数万女性走上街头抗议家庭暴力。
她们身穿代表着女性权利的紫色服装,高举着带有家暴受害者姓名或“不要再有下一场谋杀(not another murder more)”的标牌,充斥着大街小巷。据统计,仅在巴黎,就有至少3万5千人参加了这场#NousToutes ("All of Us") 游行。
Tens of thousands of citizens in France participated in the #NousToutes march on November 23 to protest domestic violence, just before UN’s International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, pressuring the government on taking more measures at protecting women.
The Australian Femicide Map, built by journalist Sherele Moody, marks the stories of nearly 2000 Australian women and children victims who have lost their lives in violence.
美国
人身安全保护法令
美国的反暴力迫害妇女法案 (Violence Against Women Act)规定受害者有人身安全被保护的权利。
The U.S. passed the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) in 1994, which stipulates that victims have “the right to be reasonably protected from the accused offender”. Victims who create a petition for Personal Protection Orders may get the protection from abusers within 24 hours.
