Violence against women Stop this! Do not let a man hurt you. Take a deep breath and think about the reasons for this aggressiveness. Are you aware of what you are going through? Do you think, is it normal for someone to hurt you physically or psychologically? Are you tired of crying and suffering the nightmare of every day? Maybe the reasons why someone hurts you, are not only your ex's fault, maybe it's also your fault for allowing this to happen and not reporting it. Many times the reason why your ex is violent with you is because he has problems in his life such as low self-esteem, frustration, conflicts, insecurity and mental problems may trigger violence against women. Mental problems in young adults is the main reason for aggressiveness against women. Consequently women suffer from physical abuse and serious mental traumas. One of the main reasons for violence against women is jealousy. Some men feel jealous because they see their ex with another man. Consequently, they show how the person is. Vanessa Herrera, lead psychologist at the Nogushi hospital stated; “I don’t think people realize how much strength it takes to pull your own self out of a poisonous situation with someone you love deeply. So if you’ve done that today or any day, I’m proud of you.” Clearly the cause for violence against women is connected to the mental problems of some men. Another cause of jealousy is being possessive. When some young adults feel sick jealousy is because they are considered possessive people; therefore, some young adults feel frustrated because they feel that they are going to lose their partner and that causes hatred and aggression against women. For example, my friend is possessive with his wife because he is insecure and he feels that he can lose his wife. This shows the insecurity and fear of losing the person you love, this sounds romantic to someone but everything in excess is harmful. As you can see, the reasons for violence against women are clear. Because of it women suffer from physical abuse and serious mental traumas. The first consequence for violence against women is related to physical violence. When men start to hit women, women are violently attacked. As a result, 1

they have traumas after having experience this. According to the World Federation for Mental Health, in Lima 40% of women in the world have suffered physical and / or sexual violence from a partner or sexual violence by third parties at some point in their lives. This clearly shows the relationship between violence against women and the constant abuses. In addition to that, women who have been physically harmed, have experienced physical violence in the family. Subsequently, when women go through the same thing, they think it's normal. Dr. José Samaniego, lead consultant and physician at Cayetano hospital stated at a recent Health Congress, "If you want to know what it’s like to survive hell and still come out shining brighter than the sun, just look into the eyes of a woman who has survived intense damage and refused to allow it to destroy her softness.” This explains the reason why women who are victims of violence have suffered a lot. In addition to physical violence, another cause for violence against women is the psychological violence. When women are attacked psychologically by their partners, they feel humiliated. Consequently they lose self-respect. T.M. Mc. Court from the Mental Health Institute in Lima, Peru believes that the lose selfrespect has a solution. He stated; "Survivors of any and all abuse become very good at anticipating mood of others, looks, actions, all of it in an effort to survive. Believing that if we can be agreeable, be compliant and loving, do things how they want, that we will be safe. This becomes our way of life.” This means that you do not lose respect for yourself and do not allow this to happen again. He adds; “If you walked away from a toxic, negative, abusive, one-sided, dead-end low vibrational relationship or friendship-you won." In addition, some women who have been victims of violence have low self-esteem. As a result, women who have low self-esteem can be victims of violence. This fact deeply affects that the aggression continues. As you can see, the consequences for violence against women go beyond being something habitual. Going through this bad experience leads to physical and psychological violence, which must be handled in time.
