DAY3 - TakeBackTheTech

though i know this is in the newspapers, but i would like to share this good news to my female readers out there... using my blog....

More battered women aware of their rights

i'm glad of this headlines in todays STAR.. it's good that women now know more of their rights in being a woman AND a person in this country, this world. no one should just keep quiet and take whatever that is thrown at them just because u are a female - the weaker sex... i say, we should boycott the use of "the weaker sex" it's just sounds so wrong for me...

A joint effort between the police and WAO, the posters which aim to inform women of their rights under the Act, will be placed in all police stations throughout the country.

hello.... not just put it in police stations?!! the posters should be EVERYWHERE! in supermarkets (that's where most women are), hair saloons, beauty parlors, malls, restaurants ... practically everywhere where a female might be.. that is how u will get the message across.... i mean, how many of us often go to the police station? i don't! unless i was involve in an accident, other than that, why else la i want to go to the police? so if the posters were in more public places.. at least the women will know that there are ppl out there to help them and the men would know that THERE ARE PPL THAT WILL PROTECT them and maybe will think twice of landing a hand on a woman!

On average, at least one in three women is subjected to intimate partner violence in the course of their lifetime

it's scary, just to look around u, that out of 3 women, 1 is abused..... just imagine, i'm with my girlfriends all 6 of us or so... and to think that 2 of them are subjected to partner violence; it's sad and scary... i hope none of my friends are victims...i dare not think about it... but i do pray that those women will have the courage to speak up and fight for their rights and dignity.
