The essay contest to end violence against women A world without violence against women looks like the

paradise. What is the paradise? I had never gone to the paradise but I have ever seen its beauty through movies like Hollywood, Chinese, and Khmer movies...etc. In this way, I can imagine that paradise is a place in which existence is positive, harmonious, and timeless. It is conceptually a counter- image of the miseries of human civilization, and in paradise there is no crime and also disease. There is no violence and all forms of discrimination against women. Paradise is a place of contentment and it is of used in the same context as that of utopia. Base on this fact, the people in all races always wish to live in the paradise. As for a world that is fully of violence and unfairness against women, what does it looks like? Do they want to stay in the world like this? It looks like the hell for them. In human society, there are a lot of bad things happen every day such as: assassinations, abusiveness, exploitation, violation....all form of these actions which occur to people, especially to women are the unacceptable social ills and should be eliminated. They strongly effect to the whole world. In contrast, if a world which have no violence against women, it will be rich of peace, freedom, prosperity, and happiness. A world without violence against women will fully get peace. Peace will happen when violence or war is completely finished. When we live the bright mind in the bright world without unhappy things, true peace will come to exist in our world. However, if there are a lot of sorrowful things such as violence or discrimination against women, how can the world be maintained peacefully? Otherwise peace does not exist. When we keep our conscience in a righteous world, when we make our conscience stand right, peace will exist in ourselves. However these things have never been taught right in human society so far, people came to forget how to get peace and it became the object which exists in an ideal. People say that they want peace because life is tough and uneasy. However people are overlooking the fact that the peace can be obtained by their own efforts. Freedom is an important aspect for people in the world. People both men and women need freedom to do something they want and to express their abilities in communities for economic development. Men and women are the same value in societies and they have to help each other to lead the families and countries to be better. In the Europe Union and the United states are largest economic in which women have high abilities to join with the government to improve countries. For example, Julia Eileen Gillar born 29 September 1961 is the 27th and current Prime Minister of Australia, in office since June 2010. Similarly, Angela Dorothea Merkel born 17 July 1954 is the current Chancellor of Germany (since 22 November 2005). If there is no violence or discrimination against women in the world and women have adequate right to free speech and learn , there will be have many high- educated women like Julia Eleen Gilla and Angela Dorothea Markel so that. On the other hand, some societies in which women always get suffer from domestic violence or social discrimination; the women cannot develop themselves.

A world will be more absolutely prosperous if without violence against women. We know that violence against women compounds the enormous social and economic toll on families, communities, and the whole world. Whenever we work to eradicate violence against women, it means that we empower our greatest resource for prosperity. It is never absent; it surrounds us everywhere, and all the time. However, if in societies in which the violence or war and discrimination occur very often, how can the development operate well? For instance, Afghan women always get domestic violence from their husbands or relative-in-law. After getting married, they have to stay with the husbands houses and work so hard to serve their parents-in-law. Sometimes they were abused, beat, and kick repeatedly. If their husbands die, they cannot marry to another guy and they have to live in the parents houses until die or other ways they can jump to the fire with the husband to end the suffering. This is a bad action against women that must be abolished to change our world become more glorious. Actually, happiness is the main point that people around the world need the most. What is happiness indeed? How can we find happiness? Once we live without hunger, without loneliness, without fighting or violence, and with bright mind; those kinds of minds exist, that is happiness. In order to live without hunger, violence, loneliness, and darkness, we ourselves should make those conditions. First, when we work hard, live carefully and put aside some money, the property will increase. As a result, hunger can be got rid of. Second, when we live diligently and frugally, we can get trust from others. If we work hard without deceiving others, we can get trust and come to make friends with good people. If we get acquainted with good friends, talk with them, depend on each other and share blessings, we can lead a life without loneliness. But some societies where the violence against women are still happened or they are discriminated, and the truth and justice are ignored, we cannot fell happy easily. That is because that kind of society is dark. No matter how bright mind have we, it is difficult for us to see the light in a dark world. To conclude, all forms of violence are unacceptable for women in the world. Men and women are equal, men cannot live without women and women cannot survive without men as well. Woman is the mother of the world. Even though women are not as strong as men, as we are men we should not violate their right. We should provide them opportunities to learn or do something they need. Finally, I used my imagination to compare a world without violence against women with the paradise because if we say about it, there is no something bad. There is only peace, freedom, prosperity, and happiness. And whenever the violence against women is absolutely combated, our world will look like the paradise which all people wish to live in.
