This is an article based on real facts. The story is very sad, but it needs to be mentioned.

Thousands of women dream of having their homes, getting married, having children, being able to work and be happy. In the case in question, I speak of a lady, currently 70 years old. She married young, already had a child from a first marriage.

She always worked, but during her second marriage, after deciding to become pregnant again, as it was a desire (in fact, an imposition) of her current husband, she ended up moving away from the job market, as it was a risky pregnancy. Soon another baby came and this woman devoted herself to family life.

Over the years, her partner started drinking and, worse, beating her. This woman suffered silence until yesterday, when, at the age of 70, she decided to call for help.

During all these years, his children, even though they knew that the mother was beaten, by the father's guidance, always advised never to report him. And they did more: they threatened to stop seeing her if he did.

She suffered silently for fear of losing them, for love and perhaps for fear of not being able to get back into the job market, after so many years away from him. During her life, the allegations to society were several: I fell down the stairs, crashed the car and so on. The fact is that your partner is a brutal man and acts with refinements of cruelty when it comes to your wife.

Not only does she verbally attack, ending her self-esteem, but she beats her, kicking her in the belly, punching her in the eye to the point of being blinded from view and still trying to drown her in the toilet, according to reports from friends close to her.

I never met her personally or her friends. I just received this report and was shocked by the cruelty. So, I decided to write so that people lose the fear of reporting aggression.

Thousands of women die from domestic abuse and thousands more suffer and remain silent. I've heard a man saying, "That's a trickster woman, she likes to be beaten."
It disgusts me to think that someone can think like that.

Fear freezes people, it makes us hostages. When the human being is frightened, coerced, he has two reactions: he either attacks or is beaten. So it is in the law of the jungle: the weakest die.

In this case, we are talking about people, people who may be living next to us, within our families or that we will never know.
It does not matter. What matters is that we need to stop these aggressions. I am not a feminist, I just value human dignity. I believe that human beings need affection, love, understanding, teachings, acceptance. A society based on fear, on violence, cannot bear good results.

A country, to be worthy of being inhabited, needs peace, quality of life and that depends on each one of us. We need to understand that to love is to let go, to respect opinions, to live in peace.

Each body is a unique temple and must therefore be respected. Dominating by force is of no benefit to anyone.

Leaders serve as an example for their attitudes. How can a father indoctrinate his children to cover up their acts of cruelty ??? This is not right. Enough to shut up!

If you know someone who is going through this situation or any other similar situation, help him / her to report it. We have to stop the statistics of aggression and violence in this country. He arrives!!!!

There is no love worth our life / death.
