African Charity Organizations
When the genocide came to mean "rape"?
I just saw an ad in the political climate in the country of Darfur. Representative Trade is a website for a charity. Now I have no problem with helping others, but I do have a problem with is when the narrator began to speak of "genocide in Darfur .. … …. foraging violation to be violated …". In my opinion, the author of the ad uses the word "Genocide" as the eyes of the receiver (in this case heard Catcher) and we automatcially the Holocaust .. If we use the term genocide should respect the real definition and events that deserve the title. Darfur Now might actually be the target of a genocide, but the simplification of a word which carries the weight of so many atrocities an act to gain the reputation of an organization is an act I can not accept. Do you agree or not? I do not want a fight, but I'm seeking other opinions regard.
Hmm … I have a little trouble understanding what he hears. Tell yourself you do not like organizations to use the word "genocide" as a synonym for rape and not one of the other horrible things that goes with it? If so, I can see that this would be a little painful to say nothing of the others is happening in Darfur. But I guess they use rape as a way to evoke pity that more people? We become hardened as a society, and things like hunger and displacement appears to be far from a place where most of us we all need. But rape is something different, the Act removes the pride and confidence and replaces it with shame. It is both mental and physical attack that can not forget a new house or food. I think they use rape as a way of saying, we can help these people by giving them food and shelter, but if not completely stop this genocide and to assist, the pain will never cease.
