Sorry people but I just have to post this topic again. Trying to get people involved so hopefully my cheekiness may actually pay off.

This is the one you do need as it will take you straight to the homepage.

Now for explanations, the simpler solution is to actually pay a visit to this site but here goes anyway.

The United Nations New York, the United Nations Development Fund for Women, UNIFEM and its Goodwill Ambassador Nicole Kidman as well as a large number of partners launched an internet campaign on November 26th on ending violence against women.

The Say no to Violence against Women campaign invites people all over the world to add their names to a virtual book on a website specifically created for this purpose.

Violence against women is an appalling human rights violation and must be stopped.

The idea of this is to send a stark and compelling voice or message to the decision makers of this world to place ending violence against women on the global agenda.

I hope this may clarify any of your questions but if you need anything else just please follow the link and you will get all the info you need.

The more people put their names to this virtual book the more perhaps global leaders will look at this very seriously and actually do something about it.

I have other information about some other things if you are interested in getting more involved in campaigning against violence against women and children please let me know.

Thank you all for taking the time to read this topic.

I admire you getting involved in this and it's a plight that sorely needs addressing, but why do so many battered boyfriends/sons/husbands/fathers get forgotten in this?

Guys, it's time you spoke up for yourselves. You're no less a man for seeking help just as you're no more a man for putting up with it in silence.

kudos to the thread starter and props to the cause but no sympathy for any abled man who repeatedly gets abused by his partner.. keyword = repeatedly

lol chill.. i guess my post was very much characterized by machismo in relation to physical abuse ..it was obvious enough.. ..dont blame me, maybe im just solipsistic in that nature when it comes to stuff like that.. my bad

but to any man out there getting beat by your partner, all i can say is pull ur damn socks up and BE A MAN without a 3rd party intervention or better yet let it go! lol simple

oh i guess "Being a Man" automatically suggests whipping ur belt out to lash her after every slap u get? ..naah.
u say ur ex stays in the relationship for the kids n watnot, so is it right for the kids to witness such? that readily becomes detrimental to how the kids grow up! ..and why stay in such relationships? "battered husband syndrome" ? ye i guess thats what it is, as "its preferable to him" right? when is it gonna stop?

i feel for him being catholic tho.. as far as im concerned, a marriage/union/partnership is solely between two people and its of utmost importance to have a mutual reflected harmony or otherwise as aforementioned, he suffers from "battered husband syndrome"
