Protests against men's violence against women: "The rapist is you"

The video of the women in Chile is spreading while massive protests, for other reasons, are going on in the country. Economic inequality and high cost of living in the country have caused millions of people to venture out onto the street to show their dissatisfaction with incumbent President Sebastián Piñera and the social fabric. At least 23 people have died, and in addition to abuse related to eye damage and abuse, the police and military are suspected of having sexually assaulted protesters.

This particular protest, shown in the clip, was made on November 25, on the International Day for the Fight against Violence against Women. But the stance on violence against women is far from over. Throughout 16 days, from November 25 to December 10, on Human Rights Day, awareness of gender-based violence is ongoing. The annual initiative includes, among other things, UN Women, the United Nations Unit for Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment. Under the hashtag 16days, you can follow the various initiatives around the world.

One in two has been subjected to sexual harassment. 35 percent of the world's women have experienced either physical and / or sexual violence, according to figures from UN Women. In some countries, almost 70 percent of women have been subjected to physical and / or sexual violence during their lifetime from a partner.
