Silenced Truth of Sexual Violence Vs Role of International Organisations

They focused on the recovery of child and adolescent survivors. Yet, they are also fighting for the urgency we all think about. Social norms and culture of silence. 

Not to neglect the Covid-19 situation, such sexual violence also exist in digital world. According to Plan International - an international organisation that is fighting for women and children's rights - online abuse is silencing girls. The report across 31 countries shows that more than half of the young women have experienced being sexually harassed online. The effect of this is awful mentally to women due to the trauma it creates. 

Plan International as well revealed that online sexual abuse and exploitation of children (OSEC) is increasing annually in many Asian countries. 

The proof has shown that the norms created in the society have been forcing children, who experienced sexual violence, not to talk about anything.

The data, movements, programmes, and surveys should be enough to create a concern to the whole world. A concern that the weak become even weaker through the force of society and its old-fashioned norms. We, a part of society, should realise something. Sexual violations is real. The presence of international organisations that could help is factual. 

We are lucky. There are still a lot of international non-profit organisations who care and be concerned about sexual violence: the victims, the justice, the norms and society. These include: UN Women, UNICEF, AWID, Womankind Worldwide, Center for Reproductive Rights, Plan International, Women for Women International, Men Engage Alliance, and others. 

Though they stand for different organisations, they still have one goal in common. Ending violence against women and children. The world can't fight against sexual violence if international organisations like these don't exist. They accommodate since we all dreamed for a better society. We dreamed of a better world.  

What should we do to create a world without sexual violence? The answer is by hearing those survivors around us. We hear and we connect. We support them to help change the thought that society still applies the norms against them. We connect with such international organisations, so that they can perform their role effectively. 

Technology is created for a purpose. We can easily contact those international organisations through the internet. Each one of us could be a part of the better world we dreamed of. 

Time to time, the norms will change. Society could change from one generation to the next. International organisations that worked in this field of violence have stated their programmes. Then, the rest is ours to help. 

Imagine that survivors are brave to open up to us in person, so we connect them with platforms that could help them. Justice will easily be in their hands.
