You may recall that No To Rape’s petition drive is ending on 30 November to coincide with activities around the International Day of the Elimination of Violence Against Women. One of those events, Singapore Court of Women, is taking place this Sunday 22 November, at 10am, and is organised by H.O.M.E., Humanitarian Organization for Migration Economics.

To mark International Day of the Elimination of Violence, come attend and understand that the Singapore Court of Women is not a judicial court but a people’s court where victims of trafficking and labour exploitation testify before and apppointed jury. Such a court allows space for women who have suffered in silence. The court would be a place for this silence to be broken and the wounds of hurts be healed through such a powerful process.

Although this is not directly related to marital immunity for rape, it should be of great interest to anyone who cares about ending violence against women. Admission is by invitation only but you can contact H.O.M.E. by email to request an invite. It promises to be very interesting, so please do consider attending.
