Mariana Flores de Camino: Violence Against Women: We Will Fight with all Our Strength
 |
| Please Stop! |
There are a lot of women who have fought for their
rights throughout history, and done many things to be seen as equal. Women who
didn’t care to be rejected by their beliefs and did many things to determine
before the masculine power that they were also able to achieve great goals.
For example, Joan of Arc, who fought
for the freedom of France, and is considered today as a warrior, a martyr and a saint.
She is one of the most important icons of world history for women, as a figure of
purity and fidelity to their ideals and beliefs. It is also an important
historical personality if we talk about religion. But as for other important
figures, we have Mother Teresa of
Calcutta who has, according to the Vatican website:
“…The joy of loving the greatness and dignify every
human person and the value of little things done faithfully and with love, and
the surpassing worth of friendship with God.”
They were outstanding women
who helped people who were the most needed and also had a strong faith in God and,
therefore, every humiliation and every suffering they may have had in their
lives, was dismissed because his work with God was more important. As for the other people who did not have the
happiness to know them and that even today many women are struggling to prevent
other women suffer from domestic
violence, discrimination or lack of economic resources and have to
sell their bodies for a few coins, yet the rate of offenses against women keep
having high levels.

| Violence Against Women |
Arguably general violence against women has always
existed, but today we are completely different from our antecessors time, and
still continue being such actions against every woman, whether young or older,
and it’s just inconceivable.
The website: Womankind ensures that most of the
women murdered in 2012 was at the hands of their partner or a close
acquaintance, and a study of the same year revealed that more than 90% of women
have experienced some form of sexual abuse in the street. Is that a good
thing? We cannot continue allowing women being the target of abuse and mistreatment. Things must change, and if you keep some faith in a higher power
like God, roads may become easier to navigate.
With this, it is not intended that those who read
this article become religious, but we do maintain some humility and be fierce
against injustice and fight for it to the end and defend those who need it
most.
