Often trapped in a violent couple, women are humiliated and the social factor can even double it, supporting the aggressor, thus leaving the victim totally exposed and accentuating the trauma.
The passage to 2025 had a momentum of change with the case of Gisèle Pelicot, the courageous woman who confronted and shook the aggressors, reversing the concept of shame. It is the beginning of recognition of super-women, accepting that true strength comes from attitude and never from the violation of rights.
The Pelicot case is a complex social reflection of a terribly sick and dangerous group manifestation, where the husband and neighbors are the danger and, therefore, the proximity group. Gisèle fought like a true warrior, and those who support her have my deepest respect.
How many women are in this situation, in which the proximity group practically sells them and their image? How many women trust someone who is not protecting them at all? Is there a clear and voluminous international women's protection program in place? If so, does it also work for immigrant women?
What can women do when they are accused by their partner of insanity and how many cases like this end up with the woman being hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital? How many of them are still there, trapped and chained?
If an international women's protection program were to be implemented, would it target heterosexual men? Are all group coordinators, media, and educators aware and focused on reducing the superiority of the effect of male mass education and on establishing equality?
Will women fight also this year, following Gisèle´s example and will a consistent support group form for each and one of them that will practically assist them in facing incredible monsters and dangers? Will they know that speaking up will not leave them repudiated and alone? Will women support other women this year, that´s the key question, that makes a yes unstoppable.
From whatever perspective we might look at, women are still unrepresented, almost invisible or secondary in important social practices and ceremonies, and as a result of the underappreciated role model narrative they might be at risk in their personal lives. What happened to Gisèle has a background of dysfunctional masculine education.
Women don´t have why to live unequally and it´s more than important to make them feel protected and always let them choose. Therefore, when will we skip certain teachings and traditions or adapt them to equality for safety reasons and a better life quality?
