statistics on violence against women

This is a translation of my post in English, as I promised.

One of the key indicators of gender inequality is misogyny, reflected in a society that supports androtsentricheskuyu, patriarchal culture. Violence against women - is a daily phenomenon, the universal, which is reflected in various aspects of personal and social lives around the world. This is part of the patriarchal structure of society, culture, and legal. This is the result of inequality that has emerged through a long history.

Violence in nature is not only physical harm or punishment, as we understand it in a literal sense of inflicting pain and injury, but may also be psychological, hidden.

In Russia, unfortunately, impossible to obtain official data the number of cases of violence against women, because such statistics are kept. Here the problem "does not exist." But this information can be found a variety of other sources. For example, in one of the essays written by:

According to statistics from the Ministry, 40% of violent crimes perpetrated against women in the family. In 70% of cases of violence suffered by women and children. According to statistics from Ministry of Interior of the 2003 violence occurs in every fourth Russian family. Every forty minutes, one of Russian women killed by their husband or partnera.

Another source, Report of the International Amnesty. Russian Federation: There is no place for salvation. Domestic violence against women »:

Every year in Russian Federation, one woman dies at the hands of her husband or former husband.

If we build on these statistics, each year of domestic violence in Russia killed more than 8000 women. According to other sources, more than 10,000 women annually. Unfortunately, Russia has not conducted a single accounting treatment women - victims of violence. Apparently, the statistics would be much higher.

give an example of the English statistics.

Number women killed by their husband or former husband from 1 January 2003 to 31 December 2008 amounted to 414 people.

From 1 January 2007 to December 31 2008 brought to trial, 268,418 cases of domestic violence against women.

number of cases because of gender-based violence between January 29, 2005 and December 31, 2008 amounted to 311,601.

In the case of Russia, we see the numbers of spontaneous violence against women, which do not reflect present state of affairs.

Russian tolerance for violence - is a rejection of a democratic modern society. And the situation is largely a reflection of government policy. Often, violence is the law enforcement practice in Russia.

To confirm his words, below Photos from the rally in central Moscow May 31, 2010. Traditionally, the opposition holds rally at the end of each month in which the number is 31 in defense of 31 articles of the Constitution Russian Federation on the freedom of assembly. Photos of the Novaya Gazeta newspaper.

States involved in the violence, demoralizing society, and in particular, family.

During Soviet times, domestic violence did not exist officially. Only the 90-ies in Russia began to appear hotlines, crisis centers, refuge for women who are victims of violence.

But, unfortunately, there is still no specific legislation to combat violence against women, no theoretical framework, information on the status of this problem, it can not guarantee women protection against violence. Inability to bring to justice perpetrators of violence, makes it possible to perform more and more crimes, but also give rise to the public to think that violence against women is acceptable.

And despite the fact that over the past 20 years, Russia has moved from denying the existence of violence against women to the protection of women, there is still no public and the state's position on the elimination of this problem.
