Vienna
+10: Speak Out – Help Shape the Future of Women's Human Rights
...Before
we had a movement that was claiming and demanding that women be
involved in development projects. You had a shift in that perception,
...women started perceiving themselves as subjects of rights, as
claimants of rights...It was not a passive wait for governments
or for society to give us something. It became something that we
were going to take because these are our human rights.
Roxanna Carrillo, UNIFEM
...We
have the human rights standards set, and now the very important
task with regard to this whole area of violence against women is
to see how at the community level one can ensure that there is some
realization of those rights...
Radhika Coomaraswamy, Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women
(1994-2003)

Vienna Tribunal
Video: Taking a Second Look
The
testimonies of women from around the world in 1993 at the "Vienna
Tribunal: Women's Rights are Human Rights" was a critical part
of the successful strategy to get the world community to recognize
violence against women as a violation of fundamental human rights
and women's rights as human rights. We encourage you to watch these
powerful testimonies as a way to begin a process of reflection on
victories, challenges, and next steps for violence against women
and women's human rights, ten years after Vienna.
