My dear friend in the #celestialchallenge initiated by @sirknight, I make my entry with the dark theme: The dark life of a battered woman.
Violence against women is omnipresent
Violence against women takes place mainly in the private sphere, far from the indiscreet eyes of the rest. However, there is a social and labor violence that is exposed as a showcase in the light of all and that favors the perpetuation of models of aggressiveness and disparagement of women from the public to the private sphere. This happens in all environments such as international, national and local as well as at all levels, not even the sports environment is saved. So from those public spaces reaches the privacy of homes in which many times it manifests unpunished. Against the darkness of this social scourge, the UN wants to paint the world of orange with its campaign "Join to end violence against women."
In the intimacy of the home, where women take refuge, that is where mistreatment and gender violence lurks, in the place where it is hidden from the eyes of society. So somehow it is paradoxical that the awareness against gender violence should be addressed from home education. The goal is for the message to be heard in the new generations and for the social model to change from the homes.
However, the model of social change must go both ways, from the home to society and public life as well as vice versa and in that double way of circulation there is a jammed lane. In particular the public road. A public road that is constantly slapping the face of all women, because it is creating an extreme violence against women that is not the physical or the psychic of the domestic sphere, but it is a socio-labor violence much more subtle but very harmful A violence that leaves no visible marks but whose blows also damage.

The woman suffers physical, psychological and also socio-labor violence
Lately there are many news we know that reveal the lack of modesty and scruples of large companies, as well as relevant people who show a misogynistic attitude and contempt and degradation of women to question their worth in the public and labor. And is that women are attacked in too many ways, not just sticks.
This problem is not something of a certain culture, city or country. It is something that unfortunately is happening to a greater or lesser extent in all places and areas and at all levels of which we have regrettable examples. So in the international environment large companies like Facebook and Apple seem to think that women are less valid to be mothers and that is why he urges his employees to freeze eggs to relegate that motherhood that seems to invalidate us and thus be a personal and couple's decision to be a company decision.

These unfortunate events uncover that misogynist culture that exists in the public and labor environment and that continues to be a great aggression against women. For the attitude in which women are despised in the public sphere, comes to validate and favor in some way another type of degradation relegated to the private sphere. Thus, the harmful model of contempt towards women reaches the privacy of each household and is perpetuated and legitimated thanks to those public cases that implicitly support and I want to think that unconscious also, any type of violence against women.
Data and numbers
Violence against women - especially violence against women and sexual violence - constitutes a serious public health problem and a violation of women's human rights.
The world estimates published by the WHO indicate that about one in three (35%) women in the world have suffered physical and / or sexual partner violence or sexual violence by third parties at some point in their lives.
The majority of these cases are violence inflicted by the couple. Across the world, almost one third (30%) of women who have had a relationship say they have suffered some form of physical and / or sexual violence from their partner at some point in their lives.
38% of the murders of women that occur in the world are committed by their male partner.
Violence can negatively affect women's physical, mental, sexual and reproductive health and, in some settings, may increase the risk of contracting HIV.
Men who have a low level of education, have been subjected to abuse during childhood, have been exposed to scenes of domestic violence against their mothers and the harmful use of alcohol, have lived in environments where violence was accepted and there were norms Different for each sex, and believe they have rights over women are more likely to commit violent acts.
Women who have a low level of education have been exposed to acts of intimate partner violence against their mothers, have been subjected to abuse during childhood, have lived in environments where violence, male privileges and violence are accepted. Women's subordination status is at greater risk of being victims of intimate partner violence.
There are data that show that interventions that promote the awareness and emancipation of women, the provision of psychological guidance and home visits could favor the prevention or reduction of violence against women.
Conflict, post-conflict and displacement situations can aggravate existing violence, such as that inflicted on women by their partners and sexual violence outside the couple, and lead to new forms of violence against women.
