Violence Against Women....
16 years campaigning
indybidet09.jpg

It started on 25th November- International Day Against Violence Against Women and ends on the 10th December- International Human Rights Day. 16 Days of Action is part of a Global Campaign for Women's Human Rights

In 2005 Women’s Aid campaign was to raise the issue of under funding in the area of support for victims of Domestic violence. This year’s campaign is to highlight the state’s responsibility to end violence against women. There are over 2000 groups involved internationally in campaigns from Take back the Tech to community arts programmes.

I came across the space outside Ringsend public library, occupied with a clothesline strung around the trees, billowing a message of hope within it’s domesticity.

The Ringsend Action Project have created this installation, with women involved with the domestic violence working group, and an artist.

The group come up with ideas to express facts in a meaningful way and to offer hope. A previous project erected a door which was half open in a local public space. It was to symbolise that most violence against women takes place at home, but that there is always an opportunity to leave. This year T-Shirts are hung on a line beside the public library offering information for helplines and stating the facts about violence against women.
The project hopes to relate to women’s experience and to highlight that there are people there to offer help and support. The message is – You Don’t Have To Accept It.

The Clothesline and all projects are left standing in the community for the duration of the event. The Ringsend Action Project believes that this shows respect for their message within the community.

I am putting pen to paper here on seeing the slogan "where will I be safe"?????
The answer is no where according to the law as it stands.Women will not and cannot come forward and go all the way in the court process becuause once involved they discover the TRUTH and oouch how it hurts too....when you hear your ex whisper to your already broken spirit."see I told you you can never escape me because the law is always on MY side".How true it is.You finally say enough in your mind and off you go believing you will be safe now. Well the refuge centres are full so back you go and he laughs at you. You go to court and you will be told to be a good girl and go home and obey. Other agencies decide to allow the violent abuser access to the children and they are dragged by the neck screaming so that he can have his right seen to.Often the woman has to supervise the access herself in case the children are injured or murdered. But, in any case there is no escape.Violent men POLLUTE women and children with their vile violent energy which is carried like the plague from place to place.It is brought home to pollute the home after each access visit.Then the mother starts to be abused by her children and then this violence is carried in the system to the next generation.
So, now that all that is clear...every time you see the slogan violence full stop....you know the truth that it is all a con.Government is not interested in stopping violence against women and children, only in CONTROLLING them as they have done for 5,000 years. But the good news is that things are about to change and women will remember how once they were strong warrior women themselves and will empower themselves and their daughters and sons too...so that soon men and women will give and receive equally and not try to dominate each other.
Catherine.

For many moons now I was wondering why there was no real FEEL to ending Domestic violence and then this morning after 12 years of homelessness to discover the truth.
There I was thinking that when I went to womens aid that my problems would end.
Oh nooooo, that dear people is where they begin.Abused men or women makes no difference.The system feels that if you come forward then you are getting STRONG and Getting out of your box" You see ..you must know your place in this society of ours.
Violence destroys people and makes them violent too and depress ed and in the end they break down and stop fighting like good little children. You must obey and behave.
So, when the social worker says they care..you know it is a lie. For they are going to break you down more than your violent partner. Believe me they use the same psychological and emotional abuse as he/she did.No, no physical as that would leave a physical scar and the judge would not be amused.
You will of course be sent for assessments and get the same treatment over and over till you break, then they may say...you are unable to look after your children so they steal them and give them to foster parents who make lots of MONEY from them.Children are worth money. So if you try to protect your children and the judge always give access to the violent one ..dont ask why anymore...the answer is they want you and your children to be violated by violence to keep you from being FREE.
If you try to stop the violent partner having access to the children you will either go to prison to teach you YOUR PLACE.or the violent partner takes them home and gets custody.
Now what kind of society does that.??????OUR SOCIETY.
Why???? because when you come forward and say no more violence, you are saying you want peace. Peace does not make money for rich people.The system wants your children to be exposed to violence to DE-HUMANISE them like they do in training social workers.They have brought the British system here now to teach their methods . But Baby Ann has put a halt to their plans for now. So if you have a partner and are not married your child will do just fine. There was a time when young unmarried girls provided all the children they needed but now we women are keeping them and that is upsetting things a bit.
Another way is that you will get little money or none in my case and then social worker will say you are neglecting them and off they go too.
Or in my case as there was nothing wrong, except I wanted my children safe from guns I was made homeless by social services in order to conform and go home and obey. How many of you have been told by lawyers to drag those children by the hair if necessary for access or the judge will throw the book at you??? I thought so.
You see the lawyers are only interested in the money and boy is their money for old rope here.They call our cases bread and butter cases and drag them out. You will notice that they do not fight in court.No they make deals outside so rarely does the judge hear the case at all.The social worker will perjure him/herself without as much as a blink. And if like me you prove their perjury....their lawyer is on hand to save their bacon too.
The social worker will remind you "THEY HAVE THE POWER"
So dear readers this is just a way of making sure the money keeps rolling in for the old boys.
But there was once a warrior group of men and women 5,000 years ago.These people fought for what was right and just and equal.
Ignore the HYPE of pitting women against men. that is called divide and conquer.
No ,this is violence V peace and we must each decide what we wish the children that WE created to experience.!!!!!!!!!!
