2 October : International Day Of Non Violence .
On this one day we could speak up and act together across the world to reject violence in its many forms, violence deployed for a thrill, or vengeance, or in the name of “higher causes” – nation, honour, order, progress, market, gross domestic product, revolution or other gods – most of all for the suppression of women’s rights and desires. If we could, we would surprise ourselves, and find the confidence to do better.
