NO TO THE VIOLENCE AGAINST THE WOMAN!

Dear readers,

  Yesterday was the international day to say NO to the violence against the woman and I have decided to write about this theme because I think it is a serious problem.
In the European Union (EU) they have done a report with 42,000 women across the 28 Member States. It shows that violence against women, and specifically gender-based violence that disproportionately affects women, is an extensive human rights abuse that the EU cannot afford to overlook.

The World Health Organization defines violence as "the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, which either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation", but acknowledges that the inclusion of "the use of power" in its definition expands on the conventional meaning of the word.

Here you have a video about the violence against the woman.
