Vision/Connection - More Feedback From Colleagues on IWD Video

This from UNHCR Colleague Caroline Aesheim:

Dear Paulette,

With regards to the film, this might be of interest to you (attatched);
- Pamplet from the Women's Commission on how men can empower women (practical advice and statistics)

http://womenscommission.org/pdf/masc_brief.pdf

With regards to some fast facts on SGBV, here are some numbers;
• At least 1 out of 3 women worldwide are estimated to have been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused.
• A 1994 study of World Bank data showed that rape and domestic violence is rated to be higher risk factors for women between 15 and 44 than cancer, motor vehicles and malaria.
• It is estimated that around 20.000-50.000 women were raped during the war in Bosnia, 250.000-500.000 in Rwanda in 1994 and 50.000-64.000 in Sierra Leone.
• Further estimated say that an average number of 40 women were raped each day in South Kivu (DRC)
• More than 91.5 million African women and girls above 9 years of age are survivors of female genital mutilation (FGM)
• Another 3 million African girls are at risk of undergoing FGM every year.
• 28 countries in Africa have been found to practice FGM and the practice is almost universal in 7 of them (>85%)
• In Tanzania, more than 1,400 individual SGBV cases were reported to UNHCR in 2007, the majority being domestic violence and rape.
• In Nairobi, more than 450 individual SGBV cases were reported to UNHCR in 2007 by urban refugee women and girls.
• 94% of displaced households surveyed in Sierra Leone reported incidents of SGBV, including rape, torture and sexual slavery.

Let me know if there's anything else we can input to the film.

Best regards,
Caroline
