I am Ban Ki-moon, Secretary General of the United Nations.
我是联合国秘书长潘基文。
In a globalized world, more and more of the problems we face can be solved only by governments working together. But there is one terrible problem that we can address as individuals: Violence against women.
Millions of men and boys, in many countries, are stopping this violence just by lifting one finger. When they suspect that they hear the sounds of a woman or girl being abused... They ring the doorbell and ask an innocent question like, “Can you tell me the time?”This is a simple step – but a very effective one. It interrupts what's happening. It shows that people are watching and listening. It may give a woman the chance to escape. It helps to stop the violence.
