@fossilfreeusa.bsky.social#Violenceagainstwomen is hardly new. Nor is the impunity that some men feel in attacking them. But the man now occupying the White House has contributed to a lower and more dangerous standard for what men can do to women with impunity.
@intervalhouse.bsky.socialViolence against women can take many forms, including physical, sexual, psychological, and verbal abuse.
Recognizing the signs is an important step toward awareness, prevention, and support.

@2eubrussels.bsky.socialEuropean countries have strengthened laws and victim services, but preventing violence against women before it occurs remains a weak point, GREVIO says. Prevention is often underfunded, insufficiently evaluated and too narrowly focused on domestic violence. #ViolenceAgainstWomen #HumanRights
@intervalhouse.bsky.social44% of women and girls who have been in an intimate partner relationship or about 6.2 million women —reported experiencing some kind of psychological, physical, or sexual abuse.

@marushka-t.bsky.socialToo many men avoid confronting other men about their violence, because gawd forbid they step outside the masculinity cult. Since men like to impress men, women and girls get socialized to live like prey animals.
