No matter where I go, any form of violence against women is serious,

The violence betwen women is unbelievable. Women try to make each other crawl so that their knees are bleeding.

Violence against women is a universal problem. Many governments have taken serious steps to deal with it. Pakistan hasn't.

The Vagina Monologues really shows what happens with women and violence and how it occurs in all communities, not just in the U.S. but world wide.

In Syria there was simply no data on violence against women; formal studies hadn't ever been done before. The issue of violence against women was kept silent here for many years. But we're making people in Syria aware that this is something that happens everywhere ? in Europe, in Asia, in the United States ? and this is opening up discussion.

I don't believe this is going to cause any more violence in the inner city,
