2. The gender violence has been always a global epidemic and it does not know any
frontiers. However this is not only a problem of women. It is reflected on everyone: men
and women, girls and boys. I consider that the violence influences harmfully not only a
physical condition of the woman, but also it provokes mental problems for women and
for their children. Women taught cunning and softness: they are brought up by the
example of their mothers who were considered to be infant, obedient and soft of temper.
It is believed that women should be beautiful and everything else is needless at least

In the history of the western civilization social movement for equality of women develops
in the second half of the XIX century when women acted for the first time as
independent organized political force. The idea of the equal social rights of women and
men appears during the Great French revolution of the XVIII century and is connected
with the approval of the liberal concept “the natural rights and freedoms” of the person.
For liberals of the XIX century who were adherents of idea of equality of men and
women, it was a question of the formal, legal equality which was giving the chance to
the person to defend his interests. The right to vote was the main requirement of the
first political organizations of women in Great Britain and America of the second half of
the XIX century. However, in spite of the fact that nowadays the equality of men and

books and academic works, women still have to prove their nature right to be treated
like men. Therefore, our organization is intended to help women and provide them with
support and confidence of their right. Due to the fact that our organization is
international, it is necessary to put emphasis that the organization is intended to help
women rather that those other people who face with any kind of discrimination. Because
a lot of people muddle two different concepts: feminism and multiculturalism.
In my opinion, the violence against women and girls is not only a moral problem and a
human rights violation, but it also has serious economic consequences. The violence
against women and girls leads to pauperization, because businesses are closed, the
income is reduced, and as a result families start to starve. Besides, children absorb
standards of behavior which lead to violence reproduction. From my point of view, the
key principles in this work are violence prevention, the help to victims and prosecution
guilty. I consider that fight against gender violence should become a priority. It is
necessary to finish practice …
