International Court of Justice

Only by creating an economic incentive will government change the way women are treated. Rape is illegal but women are raped in public in many countries. Sometimes in front of their families. This is torture as well as rape. They deliberately don't wear condoms so that women will be infected with their diseases. This about power and violence. And it is girls and women who are blamed by society; they are rejected as possible wives, as friends, as daughters. These women lose their whole life. It is the responsibility of government to protect everyone. At the moment they don't.

I want to tell you a story: Parents and politicians and the government use women like a tractor. Parents force underage girls to marry for financial gain. Once they force you to marry, you are trapped, divorce is not an option. If you are being abused they will not help you escape, you must flee your family and husband alone. If you manage to escape, they will try to hunt you down like an animal. If they find you they will try to force you into prostitution and use you as a business. After they start to prostitute you, the government will start you use you like a business. The politicians need to help them. It is the governments responsibility to make sure that women are able to work in jobs that they choose. Not prostitution or other exploited jobs. They start to destroy your life, the parents and the politicians and the government.

This is important to me because the International Court of Justice and Human Rights must act now to prevent women being psychologically tortured. They have to act on behalf of all women to change the way women are treated and provide compensation for women who have been used. Women must be free to express themselves, work in whatever job they want and not forced into prostitution. Governments and politicians use women like a business; taking away from them their basic human rights by using their bodies as a business. They are taking advantage of unemployment and desperate situations to exploit them by prostitution and discarding them when they become too old, destroying their lives. I want to take action on the streets to raise awareness and to show people the suffering and torture that is inflicted upon women and adolescents of all ages around the world and stop this treatment of women. Without compensation, this sort of inhumane behavior will never end and nothing will ever change. If you want to support this cause, go to Facebook and search for Siraje Kifamunyanja.
