What is misogyny?

Misogyny is a term that refers to hatred or aversion towards women. It is a form of gender prejudice that manifests itself in discriminatory, hostile and violent behaviors and attitudes against women, as well as in discourses that reinforce stereotypes and stigmas associated with women. Misogyny can take many forms, from domestic and sexual violence to discrimination in the workplace, politics and culture.

Misogyny is a social problem that profoundly affects women around the world, contributing to gender inequality and the violation of human rights.

It is important to recognize that misogyny is not limited to individuals who express open hatred towards women, but also manifests itself in social and cultural structures that perpetuate the devaluation and subordination of the feminine.

As a result, the fight against misogyny requires a broad, intersectional approach that takes into account the multiple dimensions of gender oppression.

Combating misogyny requires a change in mentality and behavior at an individual and collective level. This means challenging gender stereotypes, educating yourself and others about gender equality and the dignity of women, and promoting public policies and laws that protect women's rights and punish gender-based violence and discrimination.
