Small Steps in Fighting the Roots of Sexual Violence
This is a Response to the Kekerasan Seksual wikithon
Fighting and preventing sexual violence is not just about punishing offenders but also preventing it by creating an inclusive and fair society. Growing up in a patriarchal culture, I realize how unfair it is to treat women as second-class citizens. That’s why I take an active role in making a change. I speak up against cat-calling and misogynic actions towards women , share information about gender oppression, and join discussions on inequality of genders. I also educate myself on the history of women’s struggles and create safe spaces where women do not feel intimidated by men. Even though these are small steps, individual efforts to challenge patriarchy and spread the right information can open discussions and bring social, policy and cultural changes in our society. The fight for equality is long, but with collective awareness, we can break the dominance of patriarchy and create a safer world for women.
