URAN fighting for female and childrens rights!
Singer Vlona Koorbash has started a country wide, and rapidly growing campaign against sexually related violence against women and children on the internet.
"I definately knew there was a lack of these kind of actions, yes - but I couldn't imagine there would be such an enormous need for some kind of channel for the victims to express themselves." she says as we talk to her about her work.
"The feedback from people in general has been great, too. This really opens up a lot of people's eyes, taking bad focus from the victim and all this "suit-yourself"-mentality that we still have in our society."
On the homepage abused women can send in their stories, poems, lyrics, artwork, photography... to express their healing process - helping others.
The concept of the campaign, which is called "Sparka Tillbaks Nu!" (something like "kick back now"), is to encourage the abused women to publish their lyrics, poems, short stories, artwork, photography... well anything they have used as a way of expressing themselves, guiding them through the healing process. Other people can really learn from this, especially will the way we view women and children as members of our society with less human rights, if not rapidly, but at least steadily change!
If you want to support this campaign, there are lots of things you can do as a private person or through your company, for example by putting the banner on your website. Find out more by visiting the "Sparka Tillbaks Nu"-site (swedish only at the moment).
