You can watch. Or you can speak.
There's
a cancer that's slowly eating the soul of our society. It's name is
Violence. Last year alone, over 3,700 cases
of rape, brutality and murder were reported in our country. If we don't
stop violence from taking root in our society, if we continue to allow
it to corrupt our young and to turn our dreams into ashes, it will slowly,
but surely, destroy us.
That's
why on 23 July 2001, the Ministry of Women and Family Development launched
a new campaign on Women Against Violence. But that doesn't mean it's
for women alone. If we're going to rid our society of this cancer, we're
going to need the support of every Malaysian, men and women. The goal
is to help bring together the men and women of Malaysia in the fight
against violence in our society.
But we
can't do it alone. Each and every one of us has a role to play in stopping
violence from corrupting our society and destroying our dreams. Help
us stop violence from becoming part of our culture. Every voice counts.
Yours can help us make a difference.
Objectives
To
increase public awareness of violence occurring in our society, including
violence against women.
Message from Minister of Women and Family Development
Assalamualaikum
Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
The Ministry
of Women and Family Development and the women of Malaysia are concerned
about violence in our society. Violence is not our way of life and has
to be overcome. The Women Against Violence (WAVe) campaign is a contribution
of the Ministry and the women of Malaysia towards maintaining and promoting
tranquility in our country.
The main
objective of the campaign is to increase awareness of violence in the
society as well as what we, as members of society, might do to help
overcome violence.
It is hoped
that all parties, not only women, will participate in this effort. Through
this website, individuals who would like to lend a helping hand can
register themselves. After some training, you will be requested to help
victims of violence, especially at the One-Stop Crisis Centres at the
various hospitals.
I would
like to convey my gratitude to all those who have helped to make this
campaign possible. Let us pray that out efforts will bring success.
