I am Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations.
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.
When they suspect that they hear the sounds
of a woman or girl being abused...
They ring the doorbell and ask "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.
