Sexisum in Mexico (colour key at the bottom)
Today I want to write about sexisum, here in Mexico it is something normal with what we (the women) have to live with, sometimes it's difficult to watch or realize think about (realize makes no sense here) because it's very immersed in our lives but it exists and it is very dangerous for all mexican women.
The numbers say that out of 1 of 3 women have had to deal with sexisum. Sexisum encompasses (includes can still be used) a variety topics and situations where a lot of women don't know or ignore than they were suffering violence, some of them are:
Emotional violence.
-He has stopped talking.
-Taking the time to help, He has left her all the housework and childcare.
-He has been angry a lot because the house is not clean, or he thinks she has failed to meet "her" obligations.
-Ignores her, He does not take her into account or does not give her affection.
-He has threatened to leave, damage, take the children or her out of the house.
-He has shamed, despised her, He has said she is ugly or she has been compared with other women.
-He has made her feel afraid.
-He has said that she cheats on him.
Physical Violence
-He has pushed or pulled her hair
-He was beaten her with hands or objects
-He has thrown(?) an object at her
-He has kicked her
-He has tried to strangle or suffocate her
-She has been attacked with a knife or razor
-He has moored her (I'm gussing moored means converting her religion?)
-He shot her with a gun
-Sexual Violence
-He has demanded to have sex but she does not want
-She has been forced to do sexual acts that he knew she didn't want to do. (?)
