BaBe dedicated this year's International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women to the issue of sexual crimes, because sexual harassment, rape and other sexual crimes clearly demonstrate how difficult it is to influence the rejection of prejudices that have been transmitted and strengthened in the minds of individuals and communities for centuries. Presidential candidates Vesna Pusić and Ivo Josipović also came to the action on Cvjetni trg.
Bez obzira na više od dva desetljeća borbe za ženska ljudska prava feminističkog pokreta u Hrvatskoj i danas osjećaj srama i vlastite krivnje opterećuju žrtvu a ne počinitelja seksualnog delikta. B.a.B.e. su stoga na Međunarodni dan borbe protiv nasilja nad ženama, 25. studenog, na zagrebačkom Cvjetnom trgu organizirale uličnu akciju “Silovana” čiji je cilj bio senzibilizirati državne institucije prema ženama žrtvama seksulanog nasilja. Tijekom akcije podijelile smo brošure u kojima, među ostalim, upozoravamo o predrasudama i mitovima o silovanju te informiramo o zakonom propisanim pravima koje ima žena žrtva silovanja i ostalih seksualnih delikata.
Presidential candidates Vesna Pusić and Ivo Josipović provided support during the campaign by coming, while presidential candidates Milan Bandić and Nadan Vidosevic expressed their support for the campaign in writing.
A web portal has also been designed for the needs of the campaign. www.rape.org where you can leave your comments and find basic information for all women seeking help.
