Violence against women will not sleep A young lady and her fight against
violence was a Friday night, walked toward the my aunt's house. Everything seemed so normal that night was as quiet as a sailboat in the depths of the sea where only hear the movement of the wings of seagulls. I never thought that tonight would give an unexpected turn.
was to reach my aunt's house, I still had 3 houses would soon be taking a hot drink to soothe my body of that bitter cold of the street, almost to get behind me I hear you open an iron gate with a desperation unique, so hurriedly turned to see what I came, I said, "maybe it's a dog that has escaped and is willing to bite." But the reality was different.
A girl of about age 26, came out with a tremendous speed, as if he had seen the devil in your home. I heard her screaming and crying at the same time, outside her neighbor's house pleading for help, who came to meet him and brought him into his house. A few minutes later, the neighbor came out with her husband and the girl. They entered the home of this young woman who wept tears of anguish and fear in their eyes showed. The girl's husband was a real "devil" did assault his partner again, forgetting that in there was the neighbor with her husband, who came to his defense to protect it. The guy was under the influence of alcohol, did not respect neighbors, much less who once said he loved. Serenazgo was necessary to call in the area to take charge of the man who acted like an animal. Suddenly
seen those blue lights that characterize the van of the serene, down quickly, like it was all a big operation, and enter the house. "What that must have been inside?" I think while I wait, I watch the guy to pull sledges, put resistance, struggles, screams, insults, finally submits. The attacker, still for fear of being left in a cold dark cells at the police station, has nothing but surrender and go with the men in blue.
Serenazgo took the abusive man, and the girl was more quiet, as if a weight had been lifted off, but was still sobbing. After her neighbor began to discuss with the other ladies, who had also gone to support or just to see, which commonly occurs, see no action. "This was not the first time the girl's husband beats her," says the other neighbors, "I've often had to intervene in their affairs."
The neighbors are closer to the young woman to give him security and confidence, encourage her to go immediately to the complaint, the woman's face reflected an air of hope and understanding, she looks determined, since with her neighbor and her husband, are lost among the streets heading for the nearest police station.
It did not take long to learn that this young woman decided to leave everything to lead a better life, took refuge at the home of his parents, who supported it is not easy to leave an environment violence, but the courage of this woman shows that it is not impossible.
