"Violence against women is perhaps the most shameful human rights violation. And it is perhaps the most pervasive. It knows no boundaries of geography, culture or wealth. As long as it continues, we cannot claim to be making real progress towards equality, development and peace." UN Secretary General Kofi Annan (2004).
"Women and girls need safe environments to learn and to work. At the moment, discrimination and violence exacerbate women’s lack of access to the very tools they need to make their own rights a reality." Nelson Mandela (2006).
"Domestic Violence in this country has reached a stage where the community must respond and must act." Family Court Judge Peter Boshier (2006).
