At the end of 2019 the World Health Organization announced a new pandemic that no one was talking about and whose official figures did not exist so they called it the Silent Pandemic, this is none other than Gender Violence, Thanks to this scourge in 2019 there were 793 million women worldwide who had lost their lives in acts of male violence, for the simple fact of being women, today the world is amazed when the news shows videos and photos of those born of female gender die at the hands of men who believe they have power over their lives.
How much pain, sadness and suffering there is in the silence of the victims, even more how much loneliness in the children orphaned by gender violence against women. Until when women will continue to become numbers, unsolved cases. In countries such as Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, Spain, Peru and Venezuela there is a violent death of a woman at the hands of a man every 24 hours, even in Colombia and Argentina there is a death every 17 hours, these figures turn gender violence against women into a pandemic that is spreading endemically without concrete actions to eradicate it.
Other data on the cases of violence against women is that the victims of femicide are between 13 and 70 years old, including children under 5 years old, in the midst of the excessive hatred of women and their condition. Even after decades of women's liberation, women still have jobs where they are paid less than men, even if they perform the same tasks or more, there are countries where women, for an absurd cultural justification, have no right to the health system, much less to education, let alone the possibility of not even having the possibility of deciding on their own existence. This pandemic is ending the lives of millions of women who today find themselves at the mercy of their abusers, serving the forced confinement of an endless quarantine while their screams are drowned out by the silence of their prison walls.
Reading Silent Pandemic is something strong and at the same time true, which are situations that are high causes of deaths in many countries, and perhaps it is not given the importance it should have.
thank you for such a great contribution

Thank you. Currently there are many women who die in their homes where they were supposed to be safe, these figures are those that are reflected in the portals and networks, however there are still many more that no one knows about.

Hello @emimoron, it's true, "gender violence is a silent pandemic".
We have just gone through a long period of social isolation within our homes due to Covid-19, many families have never spent so much time together.
In fact, many women and children lost their peace and tranquility due to gender violence, this is an issue that has rarely been mentioned in recent months because in many countries there is no longer social isolation.
It is important to do this massive information, you must create awareness about it.
Thanks for this post.

Hello friend, it is true what you say, today with the pandemic many domestic abuses were committed, they are victims that no one talks about, in Colombia abuse or domestic violence increased in that time of quarantine. It has always been something that has been hidden and it is time for people to talk about it.

This is a very hot topic and as you say is something silent, many do not realize and do not know what happens in some homes where the man mistreats the woman. but this somehow can end if a good education and teach children the values that women should be respected, often these men who are aggressive come from a dysfunctional upbringing.

It is precisely in education and the transformation of thinking where we must act, because machismo is a social construct that affects and damages our culture and threatens life on the planet. There are many women who die victims of macho violence and whose names will never be remembered because their cases are not known.

Hello @emimoron
The label Silent Pandemic, is probably the one that best describes in the unconscionable acts in triggers gender violence, imagine at 70 years still occurs this unfortunate mistreatment of women, by some way must continue to raise voices to make more echo on this issue, which as you rightly mention is silent.
Best regards, be well.

Greetings my dear friend, so these facts are treated in a way that often no one knows and therefore become sustained in the lives of the victims. A woman who is raped is immersed in a state of depression that leads her to be minimized hence she never denounces her aggressor. Thank you for sharing your opinion

Gender violation is increasing day by day for us to stop it we must be really to join hands together and stop it. Any religion, tribe, culture, environment that advocate or believe nothing is wrong with it is bad.
