Stop Violence Against Women Action, 31.08.2009

Amnesty International Moldova organized an amazing public action on the 31st of August, in the centre of Chisinau. As usual this is the SVAW day and we always try to maintain our tradition to organize a public action.

This year the topic was mostly on women's health. We decided to collect signatures against the prohibition of abortions in Nicaragua and death penalty in Iran for adulter. We consider that it is unacceptable that there are countries that still refuse to apply the human rights standards.

It is always very interesting to see the reaction of people when you ask them to sign a petition on a very delicate topic. And it may seem strange, but violence against women is still debated in Moldova. There are opinions that say that this is an involvement into a family's life, but we believe that this is just human rights and should be applicable the same to everyone.
