Interview about gender violence

Interview to three experts in gender violence

Interviewer: Good evening, this is the Antonio Benítez chat show. Today we are going to talk about a very sad topic, gender violence. And for that purpose we have invited three experts on the topic, who have very kindly accepted the invitation. Their names are Felipe Sánchez Rodríguez, who is a well known guest of this programme…

Interviewer: Good night, Felipe

Felipe: Good night, Matías

Interviewer: José Manuel Castejón Martín, it´s a pleasure to have you here.

José Manuel: Good night, Matias, it´s a pleasure for me as well

Interviewer: And…Alejandro Zayas García, thank you very much for coming from New York, where you usually work.

Alejandro: Oh, I´m delighted to be here, thank you very much for your invitation.

Interviewer: How lethal can gender violence be?

José Manuel: Well, I will give you some data: gender violence kills more women in the world than cancer, malaria, traffic accidents and war all together.

Alejandro: Yes, actually every fifteen seconds a woman is hit by a man in some part of the world.

Felipe: And one out of four pregnant women is assaulted, which increases the possibility of having an abortion.

Interviewer: What are the causes of gender violence?

José Manuel: I think that some men don´t accept that women can be active, independent, powerful and free.

Alejandro: And abusers think that is violence in natural in men, it is part of their nature and it can be justified.

Felipe: So society believes that violence is out of men´s control and it´s women who have to change their behavior so that they don´t provoke men´s violent reaction.

Interviewer: So…the problem is to accept violence as a way of resolving conflict…

 José Manuel: Exactly, it is the idea that men must be aggressive to be masculine. This is a wrong idea…

Alejandro: Of course, and alcohol and drugs make things worse.

Felipe: And the isolation of women is also a problem. Abused women must be supported by their families and their communities.

Interviewer: Very interesting, so…to conclude the interview we could say that…

José Manuel: Real men are not violent

Alejandro: Women are not weak and dependent

Felipe: We can fight against gender violence, changing people´s beliefs…
