Guided by our mission to promote fair and equitable societies that guarantee the rights and well-being of boys and girls, at Educo we work for a world in which each boy and girl, without discrimination of any kind, has the right and real opportunity to develop all their capacities to exercise their freedoms.
However, reality shows us that many of the limitations that girls and boys have in fulfilling children's rights, anywhere in the world, are determined by gender. Gender-based inequality, pre Chinese Overseas Asia Number Data sent in all societies, is by far the most widespread and affects a greater proportion of the child population and the world population, more than any other form of inequality.
Even today, throughout the world, women and girls continue to enjoy fewer opportunities for personal development than their male counterparts. Girls and women, from any corner of the planet, continue to encounter serious difficulties in the exercise of their rights, when they are not denied, in health, in education, in social and political participation, in autonomy and economic well-being, in a life free of violence… frequently putting their lives in danger.
Currently, according to UNESCO, of the 57 million children of primary school age who are not in school, more than half, 31 million, are girls. Every year, 14 million teenagers become mothers, according to the World Health Organization, and worldwide one in three women has experienced physical or sexual violence , according to UN Women. But in addition, in 37 countries rapists are not tried if they are married or later marry the victim.
Violence against women and girls , an expression of gender inequality, is one of the most widespread violations of human rights in the world. Progress in protecting the rights of women and girls and progress in ending gender discrimination and eliminating violence against girls and women remains too slow. Once again, today, November 25, International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women , we have to continue talking about this scourge.
Various expressions of violence against women
Violence against girls and women ranges from psychological, physical and sexual violence that in many cases is carried out within the family and community to that tolerated or even perpetrated by the state. Because gender violence has very diverse expressions. From the most subtle and everyday ones, such as denigrating comments, images and behaviors that sometimes go unnoticed and that, however, support the most extreme and media cases of violence against women, such as feminicide or the trafficking and sexual exploitation of girls. and women .

Marriage of girls is violence . The control exercised over adolescent girls by their partners is violence. Trafficking in girls and women is violence. Non - consensual sexting is violence. The fact that they prioritize your brother's education over yours, girl, is violence. Sexual harassment at work is violence. Having to stay on the margins of the school yard because most of it is taken up by the soccer field is violence. The fact that women dedicate, on average, systematically and in all corners of the planet, more hours than men to domestic and care tasks is violence.
