"Violence against women is a violation¹ of human rights. It cannot be proved right by any political, religious, or cultural claim. A global culture of disrespect toward women lets violence happen every day. The criminals who do this violence go unpunished. Amnesty International calls on you to help us stop violence against women. We call on you to help women to live lives where they are equal and have honour. Stop violence against women."
