In Spain, and the world, many extraordinary events occurring fixing our attention every day, fill our gatherings and account for all of our thoughts: the crisis (social, political and economic), the welfare state cuts, boxes, unemployment , social upheaval, corruption ...
All these issues are important, especially when behind them shows the depletion of our democratic system and a world that, like it or not, has always been organized in jeopardy.
But alongside these events still happening, every day, as usual, the ordinary, standard: a steady trickle of women murdered (by boyfriends, husbands, partners, or other fur-ex); network is international in scope White (Turkey, Cambodia, Mexico, European Union, Spain, Japan, China ...), increase in female unemployment (more than 39% rate unemployment among women under 35); worst compensation expenses (the gap in salary is around 30%) mass rape of women more or less recognized (see, for example the situation of Haiti, where social chaos triggered this phenomenon ), the tacit recognition of exclusive maternal function (the caretaker of elderly and dependent children that severs the political future of the millions of women in the world) ...
In the margin of the daily news that shakes our conscience, the situation of women in the world only occupies a public place and therefore a central place in some media (thus becoming pure entertainment), when one of them is killed or when they leave the female unemployment figures compared with males, or arrest the ringleaders of a prostitution ring, or when making a report of the sexual condition of poverty in Europe, or when it's November 25th and 8 March.
So yes, name them, we remember, we set five minutes of silence and move his head with resignation. A plethora of behaviors, gestures and poses marginal and useless, even when well-intentioned, the only thing they achieve is to put a dramatic climax to the tragic news. Then, as usual, the woman returned to anonymity, the margins of what "really" important ... to the next murder.
And so, day after day, the lives of millions of women in the world is jeopardized and every month in our country, some of these women lose their lives in the silence, impotence and ignorance of citizens who neither knows nor understands, nor wants to. Already
killed six women. Each with name and surname, each had a life to live and a story to tell although they did for the future. His time ran backwards, and every drop of his blood has reflected that while inexorably lost the sight of all its neighbors, relatives and fellow citizens.
and will remain so until we take stock in February of marital shrouds of this country. And then come to their accounts in March and April, May and December ... we will look at the totals and we will continue asking the same questions and saying the same crap as always to the 50, 60, 70 or 80 women killed. All this I know, I know. I come denouncing for years, yet nothing happens. Not doing anything to reverse the situation, to prevent this phenomenon, think of a world in which violence against women in any of its manifestations, is an isolated phenomenon, unusual and special, more of a personal history of a form of community organizing. When are you serious and rigorous intervention throughout the educational system? When are you simply a serious and rigorous intervention on prevention? When does a national organized, coherent and comprehensive, designed by competent people who influence the causes and not effects? When are adequate tools for prevention?
not just a question of money, you also need to know what it is talking about when we talk about violence against women. And in this country, very few know, really, it means to say that domestic violence is a manifestation of the system of cultural values \u200b\u200bthat shape a community in which subordinates women (loss of autonomy) with respect to men.
Anyway, I say otherwise, but I say again, until we realize that we must uproot the status of women from the margins of the news, until we clear that we must make their cause, which is ours, the core of a necessary transformation of the world in which we live, little future awaits us, because every time a woman is a victim of violence marital, social and cultural, anywhere in this world is a little darker, sad and moving closer to a destination quicker extinction.
