As the title
says, in this post I will talk about women; huge problems women still face in
2017 and how they face them. I decided to talk about it because the latest news
about masculine domestic violence, the sexual raping a lot of women are
suffering, between other facts, have been the straws that broke the camel’s
back.
One of the
many horrific problems women face is domestic violence and oppression. Women
are not safe from violence; it’s a clear fact. Last month was the national
domestic violence awareness month and according to the statistics, there has
been 15 victims because of gender violence, which most of them are women. This
number should be 0, that’s the reason why we must keep fighting for safety and
non-violence assaulting.
Another of the problems women face is sexual assaulting and rape. The following table shows the statistics in Spain throughout the years, according to Instituto de la Mujer y para la Igualdad de Oportunidades. The numbers talk by themselves.
Worldwide, the picture is just as bad. The world Health Organization estimates that 35 percent of women internationally have experienced domestic violence or sexual violence in their lifetime. The International Center For Research On Women estimates that there are over 70 million child brides worldwide.
Unfortunately, women not only have to fight for her safety but for equality in different areas. For example, in the labour area, in politics, …
Furthermore, the reaction of women should have when it comes to all the problems they go through or even how they face the world can be summarised into a word: strength. Women have to be strong. They must fight against expectations, specially when they have to face obstacles, and bounce back, even if they have been hurt, they must keep going on no matter what. Women are just fighters. As a conclusion, I could like to say that as a woman an most of all as a human being I am obligated to fight for our rights and equality.
