Stop Honour Killing; Stop Violence Against Women

Hundreds, if not thousands, of women are murdered by their families each year in the name of family "honor." It's difficult to get precise numbers on the phenomenon of honor killing; the murders frequently go unreported, the perpetrators unpunished, and the concept of family honor justifies the act in the eyes of some societies.

Stop Killing Young Innocent Girls in the Name of God; God is not a murderous person, Muslim has turned God into a Murderous Person:

The Islamic Republic of Iran is the most murderous regime in the world. They have the blood of thousands of young/old men and women in their hands. They have turned God into a murderous person by butchering young innocent boys and girls in the name of God. These are bunch of backward, moron, and savage people who are governing Iran. The execution of the young innocent Atifa has added another chapter of shame and humiliation to Islam, but her spirit will always be alive and be in our heart. No person has the right to take the life of another person and those who do are evils in God's eye. God will punish Them. Please, stand up on March 8, 2008 and support women across the world. It is disappointing and humiliating to all human communities that members of our world are turned in to objects and property of the male members. There is still more than enough inequality and oppression in our world that need all of us to join in solidarity to end it.

Stand up for Human Equality and Value; Stop Violence Against Women:

Support your Mother, Sister, and Women in your Community; March 7, 2008

Each year on 8 March, women worldwide celebrate this day as a day of identity and equality, a day of freedom and resistance to oppression, violence, abuse, honour killing and rape. However, hundreds of International Women's Day events occur all around the world. IWD events range from small random informal gatherings to large-scale highly organised events. All celebrate women's advancement and highlight the need for continued vigilance and action.
Gender discrimination and oppression against women in today’s cultural, religious and political settings has remained much the same throughout the 20Th and 21st century. This lack of progress can be attributed to the attitude and behavior of men toward women as men continue to dominate all aspects of the cultural, economical, and political system. The history we have built is full of disappointment and humiliation for many reasons and one of those is the treatment of women.
This lack of progress is illustrated in the continuous acts of violence towards women in many countries throughout the world. Violence against women due to the traditional, religious, and cultural ideologies are continuously justified in many communities across the world. Hence women continuous to face violent acts such as sexual assault, rape and honor killings worldwide. Nonetheless, religious and cultural traditions are the most powerful ideologies attributed the oppression and deprivation of women from their fundamental freedoms and rights. This discriminatory attitude has a long and tragic history that has continued to face resistance by women activists. Gender discrimination and oppression has continued to exist for decades because these ideologies have not yet been abandoned by patriarchs.
However, religions and cultural gender discrimination still continues to be a huge social issue and remain a huge matter for many. Throughout, the past and present women have been perpetuated as an object, weak, and less intelligent due to their sex. Therefore, they continue to be dominated member and one of the groups most victimized throughout history and still continues to be, because violence behaviors of men toward women still an ongoing process. Yet significant gaps in protection remain. Many countries fail to recognize some form of violence against women as crimes. Therefore, oppression and murderous violence against women has perpetuated through social practice of culture, religions and politics. This is a huge disappointment to women but fortunately has not stopped or weakened women activists in their goal for social, political, economical, and gender equality. Today, they stand behind their platforms to end racism, sexism, classism, and oppression and achievement of social justice. It is time to stand up and raise your voice with your sisters, mother, and community to stop violence, honour killing, abuse and rape against women. It needs all of us men and women to fight and end classism, sexism, racism, and oppression against our sisters and mothers.

25,000 abused women, kids turned away from Alberta shelters

A report released by the Alberta Council of Women’s Shelter Wednesday that 25, 000 women and children were turned away from Alberta’s 41 women’s shelter in 2006, and an increase of 28 per cent from the year before. The government of Alberta stated it’s not ignoring the plight of abused women and children this is due to the inadequate funding. Article continues
This is really sad to hear that women still continues to be subject to abuse and oppression in our society. When I see 25, 000 abused women and children are seeking safe heaven than I would say there is something wrong with our equality system and definitely everyone is not benefiting from it particularly women and children. This is a very large number. The recent report shows abuse and oppression against women in Alberta continues to rise. In 2006 “Alberta shelters received nearly 100,000 crisis calls and had nearly 50 per cent increase in the last three years (CBC News). This is something need to be looked at very closely due to its large number and also because of its higher rate prior to last year. This shows that women still continues to be dominated by men socially and economically in this country and they are still subject to discrimination, abuse and oppression. Canada regardless of its domestic violence against women is accusing other countries for lack of human rights and gender discrimination. Canada has sponsored UN resolution against Iran condemning ongoing systematic violations of human rights. This is great and I am very proud of the Canadian protecting human rights beyond its borders. They should not cover and hide their own crisis. The UNICEF Canada reported last Tuesday “about one in six Canadian children live in poverty” a number unchanged in a generation" (CBC News).
Women and children in this country just like any other country in the world are suffering from oppression, abuse and discrimination. Canada needs to fix its own problems first protect women and children within its border from abuse and oppression. The Alberta Council of Women's Shelters reported on Wednesday that “25,000 women and children were turned away from Alberta's 41 women's shelters in 2006, an increase of 28 per cent from the year before” (CBC News). This is clearly shows that there is a troubling trend. Are more women being abused or do more want to break free? Our equality system is not serving a particular group of our community and they are still subject to abuse and oppression. It shows that our system does not serve one member of our society and they are still oppressed, abused, and discriminated against.

Who do you belive Mr. Wall or Mr. Calvert

The new Saskatchewan government Sask-party indicated last week that the NDP left government finances in a mess which have vigorously denied by the former premier Lorne Calvert. Mr. Calvert in a statement to Mr. Wall said Thursday he couldn't believe the “words coming out of Brad Wall's mouth Wednesday night,” shortly after he was sworn in as Saskatchewan's 14th premier. (CBC News) Calvert said he left a “$2-billion surplus for Wall's government and if that's not enough, then the Saskatchewan Party can't manage its money” (CBC News). Article continues
Who do we believe; I would say none of them. They have both played this card in the past and they continue to play it. This is not new to many of us who watches politics. Brad Wall still wants to embarrassing NDP and its long legacy governance in front of the people of Saskatchewan. He is heading in the road already to start blaming NDP for future problem. On the other hand, NDP still playing the past card that Sask-party is not the right party for this province and this is the first sign of that they cannot manage this province financially. I personally don’t believe either of them because neither of them have token the honesty step to prove themselves. Like I said Mr. Wall and his government has already found his way like any other government to blame the previous government for future problems and failure. Mr. Wall said the problem isn't now, “it's coming in future years unless the new government looks at its spending and makes some changes” (CBC News). “The challenge is that some long-term program spending that the NDP have made commitments to are being funded by some one-time revenue or at least revenue that if you were budgeting prudently and carefully, you might not assume for future years” (CBC News). The people of this province elected Mr. Wall to bring changes to this province not start with complains about NDP past record, that is too general for the people of this province. They have been given the mandate to bring changes to this province as they have promised. They should do so.
