Sullen Girl

It was November 25 of 1960 when three Mirabal sisters, political activists in the Dominican Republic, were brutally murdered on orders of Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo.
Since 1981, women's activists have marked the day of November 25 as a day against violence; then, in 1999, the United Nations General Assembly designated it as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (Resolution 54/134). The UN then started to invite both governments and associations all over the planet to organize activities designated to raise public awareness about this huge problem: women all around the world are subject to rape, domestic violence and other forms of underhand and dirty violence.
Nowadays, nothing has quite changed from that day of 1960: women are still victims of this revolting violence and the issues about are always the same old ones. Feelings of women about an abuse are sadly still shame, guilty, dirty, even sin and those who find the strength to say stop to this freaking, absurd pain are still not enough and they won't until every single woman will have that strength.
Today is the twenty-five of November and, as always but, if possible, even more, our hearts must be turned to all those women who still feel so lonely, so lost and left out on their own in their sorrow, to say them they're not and never will be alone.
Now, I wanna show you all this Italian poster for a campaign about violence against women which last year has shocked self-righteous all over the Country itself.

The image is wondering "Who pays for man's sins?", claiming that "Only 4% of women victims of sexual violence reports its executioner. The others pay for him too.".
Well, sad to tell you that in a "civil" Country what has really shocked people (conservative politicians above all) has once again been a useless and really pathetic polemic about a hypothetical "blasphemy" rather than the fact the women are still victims of beasts that someone has still the courage to call "men" and treat as "human beings".
For what concern me, I'm shock and sick of this reaction, shock and sick of the problem to be the respect for the Catholic iconography rather than for people.
I'm sick and tired of people like these: because you are at fault if an abuse is not reported, because you are at fault, you dumb phonies, if the fear of being judged comes first even where you're victim of a cruelty like that; because you are at fault when instead of help and encourage people, instead of speak out loud how something like that is wrong and awful you lose precious time and resources to fight an idiot struggle which doesn't even exist.
Feel guilty every time a woman is crying because she doesn't know how to escape from this fucking inhuman shit, feel guilty every time a little girl is thinking that's the normality of things, feel guilty every time a young woman is thinking she deserves it and suffers closed up into her annihilating silence.
Feel guilty, because you are as sick and disgusting as the monsters who take away those women's lives.
We're tired of you too: you've got all our contempt.
