SELF PROTECTION FOR WOMEN

In the late 1990s, Dan Gamble, a Canadian father of two teenage daughters, was upset at the kind of advice his daughters were getting from friends and at school, about how to protect themselves from predators. He knew that the myths and general misinformation they were hearing was wrong – and in many cases, put them in greater danger.

Message of Michelle Bachelet, Executive Director of UN Women for Human Rights Day, 10 December

Today on Human Rights Day, we look back on a year of people marching in the streets to end injustice, inequality and tyranny and to demand their fundamental rights and freedoms. In 2011 we witnessed profound historical changes. In large numbers, women, men and young people came together to express their frustrations and opinions. They sought the comfort of camaraderie to voice their dreams and hopes for a better future, and their ideas spread through social media.
