Stop The Exections of Women

To:  Women Advocacy groups, The Govenor's of the USA, United Nations, Human Rights Groups, Concerned citizens of the USA, and Worldwide

This petition is a plea on behalf of all women incarcerated on death row, and future women to be given the death sentence. It is to stop the execution of female inmates. In a society where violence against women by men is no longer tolerated, the ultimate abuse against women is to be executed. Men are involved with the execution of female inmates: strapping them to the gurney, administrating the lethal injection drugs, and handling the female body after. This is cruel, inhuman, and degrading to women.

Article 3 of the Declaration on the Elimintion of Violence Against women read:
Women are entitled to the equal enjoyment and protection of all human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural, civil or any OTHER field. These rights include:
(a) The right to life
(h) The right not to be subjected to torture, or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

Lethal injection goes against the 8th amendment: see

We the undersigned demand that the act of men executing women be stopped immediately, as this is the ultimate act of violence against women.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
