Day international for the elimination of violence against women
If you asked a random citizen mean for him the 25 November, There is no doubt that this only would evoke it not great thing except perhaps the Sainte Catherine is Ali kept in memory of old traditions… This is yet the date chosen by the United Nations to celebrate the international day for the Elimination of Violence against women.
Its origin dates back to 1960, When in the Dominican Republic the Mirabal sisters were murdered because they were for their rights. They became symbols of the fight to eradicate this scourge of violence against women.

But beyond the career political man, These are the Nigerian who will have to bear the weight of this dramatic error.
In the West also …
How, Indeed, could Western countries be credible while the values they offer as an example are themselves perverted ? What could be the reaction of a nigerian Muslim, If it considers “nudity as an obscenity”, faced with a culture (our) where the appearance and fashion are erected in dogma, where the women are commonly beaten by their husbands, where pornography has become commonplace and where the last enslaved women to satisfy sexual urges of men – for example, thousands of young girls from the countries of Eastern – causes only the indifference of legislators ?
