The main pro is that this is a worldwide initiative, so the message spreads everywhere - from the Third-World countries, to the developed countries, as no society is immune to mistreating and abusing women and children. The women and children who have been victims can feel that they are not alone and left to themselves. Also, this campaign is meant to contribute to the shift of the paradigm. Politicians and high officials are supposed to use the opportunity to talk about the issues.

However, there are also the cons, as in every campaign. First of all, in many countries, this campaign has turned into a celebration of women's rights, instead of being, first and foremost, an awareness-raising campaign that wants to change things for the better. Second, in some countries (such as South Africa), churches are included in the campaign - the same churches that probably wouldn't accept and help beaten or raped lesbians, for example.

Answer from: Quest

faulty parallelism is a construction in which two or more parts of a sentence are equivalent in meaning but not grammatically similar in form.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

the problem is the last sentence, the first two have a basic subject+verb+object structure.

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in all three sentences:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.
