Violence

La mujer no es un objeto

houtlust — Tue, 04 Apr 2006 23:38:00 GMT

This campaign from the Oficina gubernamental Inmujeres (Mexico's National Women's Institute) passed many websites but not with the campaign ads and video.
Finally they are online.

The campaign - which also includes billboards and radio ads - shows the wide-mouthed sex dolls dressed as secretaries, sitting at desks or photocopiers as men leer at them or try to grope them.
"No woman should be treated like an object," a sombre-voiced narrator says in the background.
"Sexual harassment is not just demeaning, it's a crime."
Launched on International Women's Day, the campaign will run through mid-April, said Patricia Espinosa, head of the institute.

The campaign caused many controversy because it portrayed the mental image of women that the rapist and the abuser has.
While I'm making this post, Brief Blog also post about this campaign. He is quoting a Mexican newspaper where is written that this campaign spreads a confused message. Woman are not an object but on the other way a pornographic object is used.

Nash from Mexico who helped me with translating the ads writes:
The funny thing is that about the time the campaign was launched, a coming mexican movie called "Sex, love and other perversions" ads were luanched too, and this ones have the dolls too, so they look alike."

Innocence in danger

Pedophiles are smarter then children.
This campaign demonstrates the unfair advantage pedophiles have when attempting to solicit children. They use every possible way to manipulate their innocent victims. Children are often unable to see the danger until it's too late.
Campaign is from Innocence in danger, they informs and alerts children, families, teachers, educators and schools on the various snares that paedocriminals set on the Internet to achieve their pernicious aims.

In the year ending March 2005, the total number of sexual offences recorded by police in England and Wales was 60,900 – a 17% rise over the previous year.

Home office have launched an advertising campaign warning men that they could go to jail for rape if they have sex without consent.
The campaign follows the Sexual Offences Act 2003 which established – for the first time – a clear definition and new responsibilities around consent. Put simply, rape and other sexual assaults are sexual acts carried out without the consent of one of the people involved. Consent means making an active decision to say yes, an assumption of consent is not enough.

The Home Office is the Government department responsible for ensuring we live in a safe, just and tolerant society. We are responsible for the police in England and Wales, national security, the justice system and immigration.

I don't know exactly was is the text about in the first one, but it's obvious that the sturdy boy swank about his father who knocked down the boy's mother.
Violenta se învata in familie. Violence is learned in the family.

The second one is about being a witness of domestic violence: indifference makes you an accomplice.
