Women renew no violence call

Women renew no violence call

SEMARANG: About 100 women grouped under the Joint Forum for
Women's Rights distributed flowers to motorists and pedestrians
on the city's main streets on Friday in the latest campaign
against violence.

The women also gave out leaflets containing their demand for
equal rights in politics, economy and education.

During the rally, they called for an end to the outbreak of
violence which has rocked the country in the past few years.

"We want people to stop fighting with each other. Protect
women and children, because they are the ones who suffer the
most," Nuniek, the leader of the forum, said. (har/edt)
