Violence against women continues to be a problem in today's society.

Dear readers, when we talk about violence we refer to the physical and psychological aggression that any human being can suffer regardless of their sex, but generally women are the ones who suffer from many abuses for the simple fact of continuing to maintain that retrograde thoughts believing that they are the weaker sex. In addition, when we talk about prostitution, slavery and white slave trade, it is also a type of violence that affects women.

Gender equality

Asserting the aforementioned, the blog Ayuda en Acción in October 2020 states that 1 in 3 women have suffered violence, whether physical, psychological or sexual, usually with partners or ex-partners, and it is for this reason that there are currently a large number of femicides. This happens possibly because society, for the most part, has normalized that the man is the person with authority who runs the household. For this reason, men have grown up with the idea that women should serve them and take care of the home while they work.

It can be said that gender violence against women occurs when there is a lack of respect, constant insults, humiliation, and less appreciation for all the work they do inside and outside the home. These would be just some of the situations that can be considered as violence, although it would also be subject to the laws of protection of women in each country.

Nowadays there are many non-profit foundations to support women that can guide them on what to do in case they are going through any of the unpleasant situations mentioned above, in this sense these types of foundations or organizations in favor of women seek to promote gender equality and thus provide women with the same rights according to the opportunities they have in life.

Therefore, when abuse or any aggressive attitude towards any woman becomes evident, it is advisable to guide them to seek counseling in a foundation where you can get out of this affective process before it is too late, before a tragedy occurs that transcendentally affects the family nucleus.

Greetings friend @sarkash7011, I am totally with you, women must be respected, admired and loved because just like us they play a fundamental role in society. As the saying goes "To women not even with the petal of a rose."

Women are indeed disrespected a lot but thankfully we have NGO's like the one you have discussed about, they make the convenience of people's life much more worthy.

Hello friend @ireti, fortunately we have institutes and organizations that are responsible for keeping an eye on the protection of women, we must understand that there is a gender equality and that both men and women are fundamental in the development of today's society.

Hello dear friend @amestyj

Although it may seem contradictory but the pandemic aggravated physical and psychological violence against women, recently an article came out that refers how the percentage of gender violence skyrocketed in these months of quarantine. Thank you for sharing this thoughtful article. Blessings to SOSErnesto and SOSMiranda.

Best regards, be well.

Greetings brother, what you mention is true, in certain reports and news you can see how violence against women has increased, sometimes they are situations that have remained in time, because in some cultures machismo still prevails.

See you later, blessings to your family and may the successes continue.

Hello friend amestyj!
It seems incredible that today there are still people who believe that they own women and that they have the right to abuse them physically and psychologically. It is up to each one of us to be valued and respected. Good information, greetings!

Hello friend @yusvelasquez, unfortunately as I commented to other users, has prevailed in the cultures of some regions machismo, it displaces women to the background, which is a big mistake because today more than ever women play a key role in our society professionally and at home.

See you later friend, have a great week.
