Actor Sir Patrick Stewart on Friday called on men to stand up against domestic violence, Yahoo! News reported.
“Violence against women is the single greatest human rights violation of our generation,” Stewart said at the UN Hotel’s Diplomat Ballroom, according to the report. “This is a call to action—not an act that will make things better in six months or a year’s time, but action that might save someone’s life and someone’s future this afternoon, tonight, tomorrow morning.”
The speech coincided with International Women’s Day and a campaign calling on 1 million men to take action to end violence against women.
