Post 7: My Indignation: The violence to the women's

I feel a lot of anger and sadness for gender violence. Historically women have been inferiorized, in different times and different countries but all women in some way suffer violence just because they are not men. Women are verbally battered, physically assaulted and even raped and all of this is naturalized in Sexist speeches.

Sometimes they call the exaggerated feminists, but how will they not do it if women are abused daily? I think it is very important and necessary to make this visible when, at day June 07, 2019, 26 femicides in Chile.

It is not normal for women to live in fear and to get used to the fact that when they leave their homes, they do not know if they will return well. I worry about thinking about all the women who are in toxic relationships, with manipulative men and potential victimizers.

According to what I have read, femicides are only explained because men believe that they must kill their partners because they are women. And this is a social construction. In movies, the media and in the common sense, violence against women continues to reproduce violence against women.

For this, I think it is important to teach girls and women that no man can make you feel lower person, that they must stop any kind of violence in time and that there are many women's and feminist organizations that can help.

I hope that soon all the schools have a feminist education and teach sex-affective education.
