Donna. Da domina a schiava, da soggetto ad oggetto, da musa a casalinga. Nel corso della storia la donna ha dovuto vivere questa doppia valenza che il suo ruolo porta con sé. Il declino dei diritti del cosiddetto sesso debole è un male incurabile, una malattia degenerativa che non trova cura né antidoto. L’incipit di questa condizione è addirittura preistorica, ma basterà un rapido sguardo al presente per realizzare di essere nel 21esimo secolo, e rendersi conto di quanto poco sia cambiato.
Donna-moglie, donna-casalinga e donna-madre in passato, e senza andare troppo lontano fino just fifty years ago, were the only possible pairs of sense. Then came emancipation, with the courageous and steadfast suffragette. These women fought for their rights, legal and political, for the right to express their preference when voting as a symbol of the surrender of liberty. From '68 onwards began to wedge the idea of \u200b\u200bequality, a huge revolution. But its effect has spread warmly over time, affecting more and more daunting. Women who work, women managers: seemingly oxymoronic combinations that give the appearance of equality between the sexes. But just a not-so-depth analysis to understand the opposite.
Today she is still greatly disadvantaged relative to men. Still, steadfast and tenacious, atavistic gender bias which has its theoretical basis on stereotypes become inconsistent. What comes from the assumption that a woman is less efficient or less productive, trained and competent in any workplace is a bias that must be eradicated in all its forms.
from a given. In Italy the percentage of female graduates is 60%, compared to 40% of men. But if we look at the employment rate of women, we find that property for years to 46.3%. A ridiculous percentage, that makes us slide directly the second lowest in the European rankings, followed only by Malta. Women do not work, and when workers are forced to tolerate conditions of all unjust and drawbacks, which do not have capacity whatsoever. And so we see that, for example, the wages of workers are on average 23.3% lower than their male colleagues, and this is due to a phenomenon, hypocritical and immoral, called 'gender pay gap'. As if the genre could enact a priori the quality of the work of an employee.
Gender equality is pure utopia almost everywhere. But we fall into paradox when the value that is given to women is similar to that object, to be exploited for its own use and consumption. The episodes of violence, physical but also psychological, are frequent and alarming. Each year about one million women are victims of abuse, coercion, stalking and threats. In some cases the harassment is reported, but in many others it is all still in silence, and continues to wear daily life of the victims. This happens often because the perpetrators of violence are almost always family members, husbands, partners and former partners. And being able to give voice to their suffering becomes difficult.
November 25 is the day against violence against women. Worldwide associations, organizations, people, come together to condemn this unholy asynchrony between the progression of time and perpetuation of unchanged and unacceptable crime. The time is not random: 25 November 1961, the Mirabal sisters, struggling against the dictatorship in the Dominican Republic, were tortured and strangled on behalf of General Trujillo. E 'was certainly not the first, but one of the many murders are justified only by the blind brutality of those who believe they can claim rights on the life of another human being. There is no good reason, according to which a woman can not work in any field, even in the most elitist and sexist as the economy, politics, journalism, science and legal fields, and expect to be treated worthily.
Demanding justice, to demand equality, right to peace. Breaking the mind or the body of a woman is a violation of human rights in the broadest sense of the word. Just fighting and giving the past the role of witness and a reminder, perhaps, one day, you can really talk about gender equality.
