women around the globe

Colombia

More than 2 million women and girls in Colombia have been driven from their homes by the horrific violence associated with the country’s armed conflict. But after fleeing armed groups, many women cannot escape violence and abuse.
Domestic abuse rates are particularly high among displaced women, who also face sexual violence by attackers outside the home. Women leaders who fight for their communities’ rights are targeted for rape. Abused women often don’t know about their rights to health care, although government programs exist to help them. And despite Colombia’s laws protecting women, their attackers are rarely brought to justice.

Ireland
The tragic death of a woman denied an abortion in Ireland should catalyze the Irish government to fulfill its international human rights obligation to ensure access to safe and legal abortions. Savita Halappanavar, 31, who was 17 weeks pregnant, died from septicemia on October 28, 2012 at a hospital in Galway after she was refused an abortion and miscarried.

By permitting women who are entitled to obtain a legal abortion to do so, Ireland would be making progress on its pledge during its recent successful bid to win a seat on the United Nations Human Rights Council to strengthen human rights within Ireland.

Barcarolle, de Offenbach 
(Chopin também criou uma Barcarolle, mas solo de piano
Barcarolle - música popular cantada pelos gondoleiros venezianos, de acordo com Wikipédia)

tradução da letra:

Time flies by, and carries away
Our tender caresses for ever!
Time flies far from this happy oasis
And does not return.

Burning zephyrs,
Embrace us with your caresses!
Burning zephyrs,
Give us your kisses!
Your kisses! Your kisses! Ah!

Lovely night, oh night of love,
Smile upon our joys!
Night much sweeter than the day,
Oh beautiful night of love!
Ah! Smile upon our joys!
Night of love, oh night of love!
