The violence against women must be stopped.

Violence against  women touches every level of the society in every part of the world. It can take many forms across the life course, from violence against the girl child elder abuse in older women. At least one out of every three women around the world has been neaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime. who studies have shown that the domestics violence is the most common form of violence against women worldwide, these studies have linked violence against women and girl to the host of physical and mental health problems ranging from broken bones to pregnancy-related complication, to depression and impair social functioning.


Preventing against women requires a multi-sectoral approach, and in this context the health sector has a central role to play. this role includes helping to identify abuse early, providing victims with the necessary treatment, and referring women to appropriate and informed care. Promising public health strategies include changing attitudes that foster violence and gender inequality, helping women to become financially independent strengthening the self-esteem of women and girl, and reducing excessive alcohol consumption. 

Living free from violence is a human right, many millions of women and girls suffer disproportionately from violence both in peace and war, at the hands of the state, in the home and community. Across the globe, women are beaten, raped, mutilated, and killed with impunity. The women are the key word of the human be, raping, killing them, beaten them, is crime against the humanity, women from all kinds of backgrounds. Sometimes women are attacked by strangers  but most often their hurt by people close to them, violence and abuse can cause terrible physical and emotion pain.

Intercultural communication

                                                       

Intercultural communication in its most basic form refers to an academic field of study and research. Its seeks to understand how people from different countries and cultures behave, communicate and perceive the world around them. The findings of such academic research are then applied to 'real life' situations such as how to create cultural synergy between people from different cultures within a business or how psychologists understand their patients.
The definition of intercultural communication must also include strands of the field that contribute to it such as  anthropology, cultural studies, psychology and communication.
There are many researchers and academics of note within the intercultural field, who naturally all have different definitions of 'intercultual communication'. For example Karlfried Knapp  defines it as "'Intercultural communication,' can...be defined as the interpersonal interaction between members of different groups, which differ from each other in respect of the knowledge shared by their members and in respect of their linguistic forms of symbolic behaviour. The theories developed by the researchers and academics can and has been applied to many fields such as business, management, marketing, advertising and website design. As business becomes more and more international, many companies need to know how best to structure their companies, manage staff and communicate with customers. Intercultural communication gives them an insight into the areas they need to address or understand. Intercultural communication theories are now also used within the education, health care and other public services due to growing multicultural populations.
