A chara, – We the undersigned deplore all forms of gender-based violence, whether a once off attack or part of an ongoing cycle of intimidation and violence, whether in the privacy of homes or in public places; applaud survivors who have the courage to challenge the perpetrators by breaking the cycle or through pursuing prosecution; offer the hand of support when taking those first frightening steps of challenge and holding that hand along the way.
Encourage all to denounce gender-based violence in our society, for the protection of children, men and women. – Is mise,
