The Issue

The heartbreaking plight of Heaven's family is a stark reminder of an alarming issue that prevails in our society: violence against women. In Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s capital, too many stories like that of Heaven are either suppressed or overlooked. It is reported that nearly 60% of women in Ethiopia have suffered physical or sexual violence, most of it from their intimate partners (Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey). These horrific numbers indicate an urgent need for an intervention. This petition is our collective effort to demand rigorous legislation and enforcement against domestic violence and women abuse in Addis Ababa, for Heaven and all those women who have been subjected to such inhumane treatment. With your signature, we can exert pressure on the local authorities to take severe action against the perpetrators and enforce stricter laws to protect women. Please add your voice to this important cause. Sign the petition today.
