Imphal, November 27 2015 :
In connection with the "International Day on Violence against Women" the Yayasan Gender Harmony in partnership with the Women UN Reporting Network (WUNRN) observed My World My Harmony - a call for women worldwide to join hands against gender based violence at Jakarta, Indonesia on November 25 .
Social activist from India, Urmila Chanam is part of the hand - picked women who will be trained to serve as facilitators on gender harmony and elimination of gender based violence.
Women from USA, Italy, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philipines and Bangladesh are here to take this learning into different aspects of work they are doing in their countries on gender.
Speaking to Urmila on the phone WUNRN said 'Till the time there is value attached to the life of an unborn, newly born, girl and woman, very little can be changed on the different issues of girls and women around their safety, justice, health, economy and survival.
Women form 70% of the world's poorest.
And out of every 3 of us, 1 has received physical or sexual violence.
It's time for us women to join hands .
Here at Jakarta we are joining strengths to focus on elimination of any kind of gender violence" .
