VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND CHILDREN
WORLDWIDE.
In order to develop a structed
opionion I informed myself with documentaries that show this issue on a bigger
scale. Frist domestic violance ans violance against women,and I am not going to
talk about pros and cons because I consider this topic relies only on matter of
facts and how to prevent it, educating younger generations, raising awareness
and giving the victims credibility to speak out.
This crime in shockingly similiar all
around the globe.Recently the the WHO (World Health Organization) reveled that
30 per cent of women worldwide had exoerienced phyisical or sexual violence by their
intimate partner what this means is that the number one form of aggresion
against women is domestic violence.
After years of working with women all
over the United States suffering and recovering from domestic violence Cindy
Dyer who serves as the Vice President of
Human Rights at Vital Voices Global Partnership found some patterns in these
victims; for instance they do not wanna break their families in order to get
the violence to stop,another thing is that most of these women even if they are
ready to leave that relationship and want nothing to do with him, they do not
want their abuser to go to jail.Why? It is beacuse they do not want their
children to live by the stigma of a missing father or what being behind bars
represents.Victims preffers them to be out providig for their children.At the
same time something that is very common is defense despite an abuser outward
presence they tend to be insecure,extremly jelous and are terryfied of their
partner leaving them. Finally went they get the filles charged they put lots of
pressure on the victim to get her to drop charges depending on the social
aspects.Also they theart victims by
taking their children away once they are out of jail.
A current factor all ove thr world
that doctor Cindy Dyer found is a horrific pisitions against women from judges,
pólice officers and the people who takes care of their rights and well being
into society.For example “Before you
convict a man for beating his wife, you have to determinate if he was comitting
a crime or just disiplining her”said by a lawyer in Ecuador ,”I know the man
raped his 12 year old house keeper, but i don´t think we should convict
him because he might not know it was a crime” said by a prosecutor in Michigan.And last the
one which is more shocking for me because it involves children violence too “ I
Know that the husband beat his wife uncounsious in front of their children, but
we should not involve the pólice because it would traumatize the children to
see their father being arrested.
Child abuse or violence again is most
frecuent in their own household more often by their parenting figures or adults
surrunding them, is very usual to find households were the father abuses both
his partner and children at the same time,as well these abuser cope this
mecanisms by the way they were raised, often in an enviroent were thi behavior
was acepted and grew up in that mentality.
What I think i the most important
treating these issues fristly for victims of any age who face these situations is
asking for help in a safe enviroment it does not has to be to an authority by simply telling a friend or someone who
they are close to, they are a step foward to end thi suffering,in the other
hand if they feel in an enviroment where they have no one by their side to talk
to, there are plenty of call center or websites that could help them.
Is also important if we are aware
that thsese events are hapening nea rus or if we know someone suffering from
any kind of violence to denouce inmediatly.
