i think germein is right about the christian thing.when it comes to religon it has heip in some country like nigeria for example women now have the right to rule.when we talk about sexual harressment. this act of violence is rampant in nigeria.places like the private office,at parties in school and so many other public sectors like the [bank].we need to look there.

I think saying religion is a root to violence agaisnt anyone is too broad a comment. It is how people interpret any relgious belifs that is the problem.

Christian love , should ,as Rose says treat both genders equal. I think I am seeing that in some Christian based teaching and some countries. Political leaders are influential in how each gender is valued. Power hungry male leaders set a very undesirable example.

Laws that value women and men equally is a start ( lets not forget the value of children in this also – aborting children at will places very low value on them).

Free will will never be perfect so we need a realtionship with our creator also.

I don’t totaly agree with what you said about religions. I Believe that women have their place in the society, and women can not do without men. as christianity is concerned, christian’s religion promotes love and i think true christians do not have problems of violence against women. because every thing that a christian is called to do must be in line with the word of God, and God doenst promote injustice as well. In contrary I think the christian’ s religion has a big role to play in this fight. I will not talk about other religions because i don’t master the doctrine of those religions. And I will end by saying that today women have gained a big place as far as christianity is concerned we have for instance women playing role of pastor etc. that was not the case years ago.

you are talking about what should be and cause of problem and these are real factors, indeed, now we have to move ahead and devise the plane for “how to accomplish it ” you should also suggest remedy for these illes,

you are right that religion playes part in violetion agaisnt women, but there is situation, like in pakistan, religion is misinterprested with regards to women and some religious teaching, which is misinterprested, are used for violation agaisnt women and girl child,

male-dominated society is realy main factor of violence, but how to change it is the real question.
