The Story of Oprah Winfrey;

"She lived through hell and survived. She grew up in a very strict family and was beaten up and never heard.
At 9, she was raped.“He took me to an ice cream shop — blood still running down my leg — and bought me ice cream.”
Oprah Winfrey was sexually abused from the age 10-14. she got pregnant, she had the child, it died. It was painful, she said, but both she saw this as a second chance.
After her childhood,Winfrey didn’t give up and started with a new life but that too was full of challenges. But she fought and prevailed. She didn’t use her past as an excuse and today she is a millionaire.
The queen of talk also shared her biggest regret with The Oprah Winfrey Show.
'The one thing I most regret is I wasn’t able to move the needle far enough on abuse in this country' , she said.
She explained that too many people still don’t understand sexual abuse is not just about the act of abuse, but about the misuse of trust and shame that follow."

Some motivational quotes on GBV and Empowerment

Choose to live, by Choosing to leave.

If it disturbs your peace. It is not working out. If it ruins your happiness, character, behavior, reputation and drains your energy. If it gives your pain, wounds, sorrow, heartbreak, headache, stress, grief, sleepless night and discomfort.
People choose to solve the person, not to solve the problem, caused by the person. That is why cancel culture, doesn’t cancel wrong things ,but it cancels people. It is because themselves are doing the same things, for they see nothing wrong, but the person who did them ,being wrong.
As a man, you can help women, but don't help yourself from the women you help. Never take advantage of people who need your help.
De philosopher DJ Kyos

Any moment of the day or night is good to say enough and put an end to a stage of your life that you would have wished not to live.
Perpetrators of abuse often make their victims believe that they are somehow responsible for their own abuse. Such misplaced notions shift the blame of the abuse from the abuser to the abuse.
Violence is not merely killing another. It is violence when we use a sharp word, when we make a gesture to brush away a person, when we obey because there is fear. Violence is much more subtle.
Malala Yousafzai
“I raise up my voice—not so that I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard. … We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back."
Amy Poehler
“If you can dance and be free and not be embarrassed, you can rule the world.”
Maya Angelou
“My mission in life is not merely to survive but to thrive and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.”
Alex Elle
“I am thankful for my struggle because, without it, I wouldn’t have stumbled across my strength."

2021-12-02 10:35:44 Day 8

We've been doing interviews with families, students, and professionals regarding Gender Based Violence and what they believe about it for the past three days. According to these interviews, a woman's role should not be defined solely as a mother, sister, or daughter, but rather as a human being. Women should be valued as human beings.
In the eyes of God, everyone is equal, and we can't change that.
Women belong in all places where decision is to be made
Women belong in all places where there exist problems to be solved.
Everyone should recognize the equality and full humanity of women

What do students say about Gender Based Violence

Gender Based Violence is a violence which is inflicted on individuals based on their gender and it is a life threatening. Gender Based Violence can include sexual, physical, mental and economical on both the private and public sector.
To prevent this, there has to be some equality on their physical status so girls should take self defence courses.
Most people also think that GBV is only on females but it is not true and include both sexes so awareness creating should be done.
The consequences of GBV can be generally classified into three. It could be metal or psychological disorder which is create grave damage on ones mind. Physical violence which could lead to death also can be the consequence of GBV. Social impact: someone who is a survivor can become socially awkward and be afraid to communicate in public.
The solution could be for both sexes to work together to avoid and promote gender equality to society, to provide a safe atmosphere for everyone, and to modify and enforce the laws that control this issue.
Have you ever faced GBV on your school area?
Yes, we've all dealt with similar situations, albeit to varying degrees. Sexual harassment, rape, catcalling, and other forms of GBV are only a few examples. As a result, even while it may appear to be a natural occurrence, catcalling is also a form of violence, and most of us have experienced it.

What do parents think about GBV?
Ato Melkamu Lemma
Q. Please tell us about GBV briefly?
Historically GBV considered as a culture but it is inhuman thing to do on female whom we call our sister, mother and a wife.
Q. Have you ever faced a story in your living area and what was the situation?
Because of my profession I have encountered many cases. Especially there were survivors who have assaulted by their close family and I also gave medical reports on this matter. Most of the time, those who engaged in sexual harassment were older persons who have their own families.
Q. What should the society do to prevent this from happening?
This is a subject that the society should handle on its own. The origins of this violence can be traced back to our own culture and way of life, as well as the movies and videos we consume, particularly the proliferation of pornographic films and drug addiction. Even if we don't get to cease violence, we can at least make it less.


W/o Rahel Getachew
Q. What does GBV means to you?
Gender based violence is all about violence against men and women both.
Q. What is the obligation of the society?
The society should not cooperate with criminals who engage in such activities and should report any such incidents if they occur.
They should also live in a safe environment, which is everyone's duty.
We must all think of the survivors as our own because something similar could happen to our children one day.
Q. What do you think is the solution?
The law should give adequate justice to all and give lesson to the criminals
Because everyone is equal in God's eyes, no one can make or feel them less.
