Abuse can be
of a physical, emotional or verbal nature. It is intimidation on another individual,
yearning for control and intrusion into another’s psyche. The Bill of rights
states our human entitlement to equal protection.
According to
Psychology today emotional abuse is anything that intentionally hurts the
feelings of another person.
The 16 days
of activism for no violence against women and children is an international
campaign that takes place every year from November 25th to December 10th.This
period also includes Universal Children’s day and World Aids day.
Art for Humanity Director,Jan Jordaan gave his view on the abuse of women.
"Women have the right to freely
express themselves and a right to say no. If women do not speak out they will
be treated like objects”, he said.
While many
women across the world fight for better wages, women in Saudi Arabia can’t even
take a paid job without the permission of a male guardian. According to Emaj
magazine the norms of Saudi Arabia constitute the Kingdoms official laws and regulations.
The laws are based on religious decrees .Religious police control every aspect
of a women’s life in Saudi Arabia.
According to
BBC News, a prominent Saudi television presenter made international headlines
when she permitted to newspapers to print horrific images she had allegedly
sustained from her husband back in 2004.
Through an expression of art, the Women for
Children project was created in light of any unspoken topic. Art for Humanity
has provided platforms to Freedom of expression.
