Litigation Document, in connection with the International Day, the Prohibition of Violence Against Women and the commencement of the 16-days Campaign (Prohibition of gender discrimination, fair participation and social welfare).

It provides litigation with the planning of press conferences and programs to reduce violence against women. This year, after analyzing the general situation of women in the country, we found that one of the factors of violence against women is the existence of gender discrimination in our community, which women participates in different areas, which cannot be diminished and ultimately causes So that justice cannot be achieved and we do not get social welfare.

Women with their abilities are demanding progress and advancement, but this is affected by the reasons that all and all return to gender discrimination. Today, if women are victims of domestic violence, their cause may be their lack of access to formal justice where women can better address their complaints or problems, or whether female teachers have made it difficult for them to go to schools in remote areas of their families, according to the custom It's disgraceful not to allow their daughters to attend school, and so are hundreds of other problems that arise from gender discrimination against women.
