My name is Lenin. On the occasion of the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the most important thing for Asia – we have no equality and equity and no equal opportunity for women especially in the region in Asia.
What is provided by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948; in our area there¡¯s a lot of exploitation and attack on the Dalit women, domestic violence , killing of girl-children in the fetus.
The girl children has less educational opportunity they are not going to school but involved in siblings care. There¡¯s child sexual abuse, rapes, assault on them. There¡¯s lot of discrimination in the family, society, school and the workplace.
This is high time and right time on the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we take pledge and vote especially the men of the South Asia and the Asian Region. We will implement and make a reality the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on the ground level for the women also who compose 50% of the population of the world. Then we will ensure rule of law and democracy especially participatory democracy in Asia.
