Gender and violence


Hi!,
This week was sadly special to Latin American countries. This week we could see how women are victims of the physical violence. The last week in Argentina a young girl was raped and murdered.
And we cry, we get angry... but we must to know that this... is just the top of the iceberg.
Is completely sad have to reach this end, for reflect about this topic. Women are abused in a lot of areas of the lives. And that's because we reproduce a male chauvinist society. Phrases like "you run like a girl", "you shout like a girl", "you play like a girl" seem something normal but this is a way to abuse too because be a girl it is seen like something bad.

To stop the violence to woman we must to stop since of childhood  the idea of "rough man" and "submissive girl".

¡Don't fall in the reproduction of male power!

I was at the march, and yes, we was a lot. We are women and we are angry with this system that uses us.

¡I expect that future be different, we must to fight!

Cheers!

  1. I agree with you, we should change those ideas of "you run like a girl", and detracting comments, that's something we can start doing in our daily life.

    Cheers!

  3. I agree. it's very sad we have to reach this point to start talking about the topic, but, at least, it's a starting point to change things.

    Keep on fighting!
