The mistreatment


Unfortunately mistreatment to women is very common nowadays. It is also called "genre violence"
There are two types of mistreatment: physical and psychological: insults, humiliations, etc...
Ill-treated women are usually around 40 years old and 65 % of them are married or in the separation process.It is surprising the number of ill-treated women who are single(17 %). A high percentage (almost 70 %) does not have the primary studies or only the secondary school certificate. The majority of the women do not have a job so they are afraid to get separated.
Many women do not denounce their aggressors for fear that they kill them, but other women who denounce them are not sufficiently protected and the aggressors continue attacking their victims.In other cases they do not denounce because they have children and are afraid that they're going to be attacked by the aggressor.
The safety of the women threatened is based on the protection of the victims by keeping the aggressor far, but this is very difficult and many women die for not having the sufficient attention.
