SEXISM

How many times have we seen that a man is ready to hit his woman? Unfortunately we have seen these situations a lot of times in our everyday lives or in the news. This is not a nice situation that we don’t like to attend. And we think “if I could do anything…”.

Sexism (or gender discrimination) basically consist in a prejudice or discrimination based on a person's sex or gender. Sexism can affect either gender, but it is particularly documented as affecting against the female gender. Sexism can be a belief that one sex is superior to or more valuable than another sex. It imposes limits on what men and boys can and should do and what women and girls can and should do.

The concept of sexism was originally formulated to raise consciousness about the oppression of girls and women, although by the early 21st century it had sometimes been expanded to include the oppression of any sex, including men and boys, intersexual people, and transgender people.

The domestic violence is a clear example of sexism. Changing that is only in our hands. We can change that if we report to the police all of these violence that we see. In this way, we will be able to help people who really are struggling.
