Domestic Violence In Women

Domestic violence in women

Introduction

The patriarchal system has used and use violence to control women. And not only physical violence, but also psychological, through devaluation and submission. And he has done it and continues to do it through education. Men would not be considered entitled to mistreat their partners if society had not convinced them that these are a thing of their property, clearly inferior beings. And women would not be mistreated if they had not been socialized to be dependent beings: wives (half oranges), mothers (mothers only) and housewives (at the service of their own). Double dependent: emotionally and economically.

Developing

Sexism is present in all aspects of life, from the nursery to the university, from the stories to textbooks, in music, in movies, television programs, religion and in the family itself, whichHe teaches boys and girls to perpetuate macho roles. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights proclaims that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. But even so, women continue to build most illiterate. And continue to charge between 25 % and 35 % less than men for the same job. 

And they continue to suffer the greatest unemployment rates, they continue to suffer violence, abuse and sexual harassment from childhood. Too often, violence against women is protected by the defense of cultural and religious traditions, which serve political, economic and religious elites to perpetuate their power.

Physical violence and psychic abuse have been considered some rights of men over women, still protected in some cases by the legislation or absence of this. In short, sexist education is the origin of rape in the couple. Women are educated to be focused on others.

While men are educated to be focused on themselves. And that does mark a real negative inequality for a lifetime. The United Nations recognizes that "the abuse of women is the most numerous crime in the world" and a 1993 statement define gender abuse such as: any act of violence based on belonging to the female sex that has or may resultPhysical, psychological sexual damage or suffering for women, as well as the threats of such acts, coercion to arbitrary deprivation of freedom, whether it occurs in public life and in private life.

According to statistics, one in five women from the highly developed European Union suffers ill -treatment. Violence against women exists in all countries, whatever their level of economic development or their religion, their race, the social class, the standard of living or age, occurs both in urban and rural nuclei in rural. Factors that influence the appearance of abuse. Violence is learned, both to exercise it and to suffer it. The child undergoing the violence of his childhood will tend to distribute the pattern in his adult life. Hence the importance of children who witness these abuse receive therapy to break this terrible circle.

conclusion

Women’s devaluation. Social norms teach us to value women only because of their physical aspect, forgetting that each person is unique and unrepeatable, and so we get used to being dependent and: we do not defend our rights. We do not defend our needs. We allow ourselves to learn, make mistakes and try again. They mark us so much from childhood with the delights of romantic love, that we yield and yield for the good of our relationship. To keep our partner and to maintain family unit, we give so much that, without realizing it, we lose our own essence, until we become a shadow of ourselves.
