Photo Share: "We cannot accept that men beat women"
May 23, 2012
By The IRC
Photo: Goze Martine/Global Crescendo
"First, I want to say that the camera makes me strong to talk about this situation which happens all the time in my village. This is violence, and it is not acceptable. We cannot accept that men beat women. That was before, in old days, when women could be treated so. But it is not the right way to treat any person. It is not how women should be treated. Times are changing. Let us also change."
—Goze Martine, Ivory Coast
This photo was taken as part of Global Crescendo, an International Rescue Committee project that enables women to document their lives through digital cameras and use pictures to tell their stories in their communities. It was taken by an Ivorian woman who wanted it to be shared so that others could see the severity of violence that was occurring.
