Violence against women

1. Male violence against women takes multiple forms and modalities, although physical violence is
the easiest to recognize. There is no profile of the woman-type who suffers violence.
VIOLENCE INVOLVES ALL WOMEN.

2. It includes the use of any act guided by intent to hurt or terrorize the
victim.
New stories and statistics reveal that equality between women and men
remains a distant goal for all countries, regardless of their degree of
wealth and development. Even today worldwide poverty and injustice
affect women disproportionately because of imbalances of power and
prejudices that go beyond geographical boundaries, from Europe to the
smallest village in India.

3. It encloses every form of abuse that damages the woman's identity:
verbal attacks such as derision, verbal harassment, insult, denigration, aimed at
convincing the woman to "not hold anything", to better keep her under control
isolate women, distance them from supportive social relations or prevent them
from accessing economic and other resources, so as to limit their independence
repeated threats of abandonment, divorce, start of another relationship if the
woman does not satisfy certain requests
damage or destruction of objects owned by the woman
violence on animals dear to the woman and / or her children

4. Often storytelling is difficult to register as a form of violence. It may seem
normal and obvious that the management of family finances is up to the man.
Yes, then, economic violence:
restrict or deny access to family finances
conceal the financial situation and the financial resources of the family
exploit the woman as a work force in the family business or in general without
do not fulfill the maintenance duties established by law
take possession of the savings or earnings of women's work and use them to
their advantage
This form of direct control, which limits and / or prevents the economic
independence of women, often does not allow the removal from a destructive
relationship of ill-treatment.

5. Indicates the controlling behavior performed by the persecutor against the
victim from whom he was refused (mainly the former partner). Often
the conduct of the stalker are devious, aimed at harassing the victim
and putting her in a state of awe, with the intent to compromise her
serenity, make her feel hunted, however not free.
