    Intl Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women

    In that day we spoke with some strangers in Funchal city, the people that we interview seemed that they knew what we were talking about and they were aware of the topic.

    On this day we went to the city centre to interview some tourists to know their personal opinion about women on violence and their thoughts on it. Many showed different points of view and some were not very familiar with the topic, but something stood out: the predominance of men over women. Among the couples we interviewed, some of the men didn't want their wife to answer our questions, which was something that concerned us. It is unfortunate that this day still exixts since it means that people are not totally aware of this severe problem in our society. However, bad behaviours against women have been decreasing over the years.

    Marco and Alex: we went to funchal to interview some tourists about the day of elemination of violence against women.Most of them didnt know that it was that day but they still gave solid opinions , and in a general way everyone had the same opinion wich was that we should try harder to minimize such behaviours .But of course anything that envolves the law takes years to actually be implemented and respected.

    From our experience on monday, we came to the conclusion that although not everyone knew what day it was, they, especially woman, were aware of the hardships women all around the world went through and are still going through today.

    In the interviews we did we realized that no one knew what day it was but everyone agreed with us about the theam

    Madeira - Diego Figueira

    We’ve to be conscious of the seriousness of this matter. It’s useless standing idly by while we say “Oh yes, we’ve to do something about this, it’s really sad”. This comment isn’t enough to help any woman. We can do something such as participate in strikes or help women that we know are victims of violence. Last Monday, I went with my class to Funchal in order to interview people about the “International Day of the Elimination of Violence Against Women” and I thought that at least half of the people were aware of this special day. Nevertheless, none of them were. This is a clearly lack of seriousness of this matter; of how people don’t care about women’s wellness. Just imagine if you were one of those women suffering violence, would you be ok if nobody tried to help you? In my case, no. Therefore, let’s help them.
