Congratulations! You're a woman. Now die.
Violence against women is perhaps the most shameful human rights violation, and it is perhaps the most pervasive. It knows no boundaries of geography, culture or wealth. As long as it continues, we cannot claim to be making real progress towards equality, development and peace
All women and girls have the fundamental right to live free of violence. This right is enshrined in international human rights and humanitarian law. And it lies at the heart of my UNiTE to End Violence against Women campaign.
Violence against women is the single greatest human rights violation of our generation.
Since 9-11, more women have been killed by their husbands or boyfriends that Americans have been killed in 9-11, Iraq, and Afghanistan put together.
History is full of wrongs done the wife by legal robbery on the part of the husband. I hesitate not to assert that most of this crime of child murder, abortion, infanticide, lies at the door of the male sex.
I found it atrocious and downright infuriating to learn that one in three women on the planet will be raped or beaten in her lifetime.
Crimes against women are growing day by day. Despite this, the mindset of our leaders, politicians, or judicial system is not changing.
We must unite. Violence against women cannot be tolerated, in any form, in any context, in any circumstance, by any political leader or by any government.
Cinema has only been around for about 100 years. Has all of the world's violence towards women taken place only within the past 100 years?
Violence against women is as American as apple pie. I know, not only as a legislator, but from personal experience.
Violence against women continues to persist as one of the most heinous, systematic and prevalent human rights abuses in the world. It is a threat to all women, and an obstacle to all our efforts for development, peace, and gender equality in all societies. Violence against women is always a violation of human rights; it is always a crime; and it is always unacceptable. Let us take this issue with the deadly seriousness that it deserves.
When you rape, beat, maim, mutilate, burn, bury, and terrorize women, you destroy the essential life energy on the planet.
I'm very disturbed by violence against women when it is violence.
Women are totally unsafe in Punjab.
When you destroy a population, once femicide happens, we're going to see the end of humanity, because I don't know how you sustain a future without vitalised women.
Often I am asked if there is any such thing as a female serial killer.
I think violence against women in America has become ordinary - it's been made absolutely acceptable.
We need to take violence against women seriously. It is the biggest indicator of whether a country is violent inside itself, and whether it will be militarily violent against another country.
I personally believe that violence against women in our society is not going anywhere.
Violence against women is an appalling human rights violation. But it is not inevitable. We can put a stop to this.
There is increasing recognition that violence against women is a major barrier to the fulfilment of human rights and a direct challenge to women's inclusion and participation in sustainable development and sustaining peace.
Violence against women is as American as apple pie.
It's a bad thing that happens to women, but when you look at that term 'violence against women,' nobody is doing it to them. It just happens to them. Men aren't even a part of it.
Violence against women is still treated as a lesser crime. Armed groups turn it into a weapon of choice because of near total impunity.
