[Music]

from the remotest antiquity of being

human has been a history of violence

hallucinatory and destructive

paradoxically also the spirit

human has given us progress works

that has filled with light and illusion

our lives for women

however, and from this we are going to talk about

little this afternoon the violence has

taken as his innocent victims of

always and has excluded them many times

has discriminated against us from the products of

progress

without going any further this story is the

of the 20th century

can you exemplify this that I tell you

the 20th century in only in its first half

and a half of revolutions and conflicts of

all kinds and that will suffer humanity

two world wars that about

they were to finish the planet and

john be human the second of them

especially in the second already

got and executed a holocaust

of the Jewish people 6 million beings

innocent women and men girls and

children died in the most atrocious way

just for being Jewish and from Japan not

came the nuclear hecatomb that we

taught what weapons are capable of

nuclear in its destructive power

but also and this only in the first

half of the 20th century

but also before you get to the middle

immediately after he finished

the Second World War and maybe for

the horror of what had happened in

1945 the united nations were founded a

international organization that until the

today and despite all its problems

has made us not have another war

globally we have we are almost

sure that it will be the last

the united nations were founded in 1945

in which his founding charter was signed in

the city ​​san francisco

this letter that founded the nations

united rests on three pillars peace and

international security and

human rights

almost immediately after in 1948 the

December 10, 1948 and thanks to the

commitment and commitment and the struggle

an exceptional woman Roosevelt Hellene and

a group of lawyers who accompanied her

headquarters to doctor by the general assembly of

the united nations the declaration

universal human rights

with these human rights was collected

an illusion of many centuries that it

recognize that women and men

mens

we had identical rights and in this

universal declaration was founded a

paradigm a light paradigm a

paradigm that pointed out that all

human beings are born free and equal

in dignity and rights

there is no discrimination, no

accepts no discrimination

race reason the ethnicity of

religious belief of provenance

geographical area of sexual orientation

place of birth none

discrimination is possible for the

paradigm well

additionally fulfill these rights

humans are universal indivisible

interrogates bless and irrevocable for

women and for something that we saw at

beginning and then let’s go back to that

I would say that this paradigm is summarized

in moqur a fiti law one day of these

that says all the women all

days all rights

this paradigm this statement

universal develops in a new

branch of international law the

international law of rights

human beings that endows the community

international of a legal framework

absolutely unpublished and age to be

human being the subject’s condition

international law and gives them

responsibility

international to ensure the promotion

and protection of human rights and

In case they do not, they are required

your responsibility either in the order

internally or in the international order as

in the international criminal court or

in the Inter-American Court of Rights

humans but from that moment and no no what

I would say as much as this moment

even a little before

almost that almost immediately after

that all this development of rights

humans had been giving women

we began to realize that the

paradigm does not include us and then we

we ask today that paradigm is

meet

we live in truly societies

fair and equal and equitable where

there is no discrimination where women

we are not excludes

of the economic conditions of the

terms

this company policies do not

we are hierarchically inferior in not

we are or ordered to stereotypes

of patriarchy

then we have to recognize that the

paradigm is not met and then already in

that time in the nineties

I had personally already given

realize that changing the law does not

changes the amount and in 1993 the nations

united called a conference

world human rights to review

what is happening

We were the women of the world because

we had organized that already

we knew that the paradigm did not go

applied we went with a motto the rights

of women are also rights

humans and we are going to fight for that

but to me personally it is from 1993

this conference marked me as a

experience that transformed my life

transformed it and that is one of the

reasons why I’m here today

conversing with you one night in

Vienna was the conference

they arrived without anyone

invited practically without anyone

a group of women will wait for you

they came from the war that was being waged

then in your country that had been the

ancient Yugoslavia to tell the world

yesterday gathered what is happening to them

how are these Serbian women of religion

Orthodox Croats of Catholic religion

bosnia herzegovina of religion

Muslim women had been raped abused

sexually in the most atrocious way and

exciting it will be possible to get

this contact with these women is

this infinite pain of what to them to

his sisters to their mothers to their daughters

It is happening to them that our

bodies were used as a weapon of

war to terrorize were used

as an element of ethnic cleansing of

new in Europe marked me deeply

it did that when that same year

at the end of that same year 93 was the

Security Council of the Nations

united establish the court to

judge the most important

responsible for the crimes committed

in that war I would be part of that

court

of the eight judges we were two women and

nine men who work hard

to achieve a very important thing that

it had never been possible for

crimes of sexual violence committed

against women in conflicts

armed were war crimes

crimes against humanity or element

I genocide is this work that

we achieve in this court

then he allowed the statute of Rome

will be approved in 1998 and that the court

international criminal law if it will be a

reality but I also learned from those

years that the violence that is committed

against women is not only in

era of armed conflict is also

in everyday life in the eagle life

of our every day in the house

in the streets in the works

it turns out that today at this point of

21st century

women are being killed in

the most ruthless way all

countries of the world

if we go over

the the media we see

marches like those that have been dating

in these days that occurs in

Canary Islands there are here I go not one less

Neon at least in Mexico and Argentina

where every day they kill a woman

in a terrible way in brazil on coast

rich this violence unleashed against

women is a war is a war in

where we have hundreds of thousands of

victims and very few years is this

this part of the violence against

woman in time of peace passes between

quotation marks the one that has allowed or the one that has

caused that we have laws that treat

to protect ourselves and to try to sanction

to the perpetrators are these laws

we go through the figures we have in

Costa Rica show us that there are

possibilities of going to court

however we have had 200 since the

2007 to 2010 and 6 281 feminicides in

Costa Rica we have cases that reach the

prosecutor’s office and these cases are the least

reach 80 thousand 627 cases reached the

criminal courts from 2012 to 2015 and are

those

announces and 132 protective measures

Daily are requested by women

reasons for domestic violence

so we have to denounce this

in addition to the marches

In addition to the commitment we acquired

we want to point out once as

this so that we all have awareness

which means that every day they die in

average in our continent and in the

Caribbean

twelve women every day an organization

international designed an image that

for me it is very important to share it

with you this haysbert that has

in front of you in this haysbert

as in all aspects there is a part

visible and a part hides the part

visible is violence plus more outbreaks

against our

the feminicide physical aggression

the threats the violations all the

sexual abuse

the insults but there is a hidden part

from the expert this hidden part in which

less we see the visible part that

is more protected by laws but in

the hidden part the least we see is the

that we suffer

those voices and you heard when I

I entered the stage humiliation the

contempt and blaming the

devaluation emotional blackmail

control the sexist language

jokes are the everyday offenses that

labor harassment

the devaluation that makes for

work equal to pay us less in the

private company of every ten managers of

the company only 13 women of that

we have to put up with the one who says that

because we are women we are less

smart because we are not given access

to the same condition is that they for

children to education

that offensive micromachism and that also

in many cases you have to put up with it and the

sexual harassment and workplace harassment must

hold on to it because we have children that

maintain and we can not afford to

put and kick in the ass to

unfortunate that we are missing the

respect then

I just want to tell you that this is

the panorama but I also want

tell them we can do things there

the need for an imperative change that

that change is also the responsibility of

we women who are 50 per

cent but also of the men who

they are the other 50 percent

it’s a rule it’s a matter of now

after I finish my

exhibition, let’s have a coffee or a

refreshment and we take it for good so are the

things that we are going to do no no no

possible is already the change that we are

it is to understand that in education

the most important instrument that

we have to change what is

happening is education that has to

start from the same one is the

formal education and education

informal is the awareness of what

what happens and commit to the change

is not to give up

I have not surrendered I am here and

I’m here because I have not surrendered

because I do not get tired of fighting because I do not

I get tired of reporting because women

we will continue fighting because we continue

marching through the streets because it does

little bit

many women millions of them

they took to the streets in many cities

of the world to say here we are going to continue

defending our rights

We will continue to defend our

rights

let’s continue lighting candles we’re not going

to curse the darkness

let’s continue lighting candles

form a torch to illuminate from

new the paradigm to make that

paradigm that is now in the shadow

a paradigm of light that paradigm of light

that has to take us to society

Equitable fair and equitable

without discrimination with that one day

dreamed helen roosevelt and with that from

then we dream all the women of the

world we do not give up is not worth

give up

we have to keep fighting and there are those who

we have male partners to tell

with you so that that fight really

produce the light that we want

thank you very much the longest
