Violence Against women in Jamaica
The world paused for a while to take a stand against violence meted to women.Violence against women can be felt in many ways. In Jamaica today violence against women is seen in the manner in which women are portrayed and objectified in songs ,dances and videos.Male artistes publish songs and put out videos that show that women are nothing but sexual objects who must be ready at all times to be serviced by men.The most worrisome problem arising out of this abuse of women is that women are seen singing and dancing to these degrading songs as if the lyrics did not apply to them.Have they been conditioned to accept this image of themselves?What has brought men to think this way about women?This phenomenon needs to be addressed.
