Women All Over the World: Victims of Men's Violence

Stop Violence Against Women

We are in a world of violence; what we watch on television is nothing but aggression of art directors and filmmakers in the audiovisual world, and the worst is that such violence is perpetuated against women.

Violent actions are not only physical, also have verbal and facial and/or body expressions, women are in a perfect place to be seen as victim of a shooting. Women for centuries have been considered weak, as inferior by its nature and by their sensitivity, because in ancient times there was a lot of ignorance or perhaps many taboos about what it means to be a woman. It was a macho world, it was a world of testosterone, and women had always remained aloof; however, there are in history many examples of courageous women who fought against the designs of a macho culture and defended their rights. For example, in the United States, the feminist movement had allowed women the right to vote, to work in jobs considered so far as "ideal" for men; also remember that with the World Wars, the United States needed people to work in the industries, since most of the men were fighting to defend society from a grim and an awful government.

Women, in spite of what you may think, are brave beings and the culture in which they live are aligned to be seen themselves as servants of man.

When we say no, it's no, our decisions must be respected. It is amazing that many of the cases we see today of murders, in which the victim is a woman, the perpetrator is a man who for some reason this woman trusted.

Murderers could be:

·         Our boyfriends,

·         Our closest male friends,

·         Even our own sons.

Women Do Not Have to Suffer from Violence

Women also have been seen as a sexual object throughout history, not coincidentally is the prostitution considered the easiest way to make money for hundreds of years. Many women became angry if someone say something nasty to her, others use it to their advantage, but a question remains: can they be taken seriously?

Women have the disadvantage by some ignorant, of having been born as women, but other more enlightened, think that without women, there would be no humanity, there would be nothing; our belly is the giver of life, and our guts and fertile thoughts have allowed humanity to grow and will remain vehicles of wonderful ideas that advance the engine of time and evolution. So to shout from the rooftops: Long live women!
