Law is not forbidden: that women do to survive in Russia

Once again we are faced with the harsh Russian reality, which calls into question the hopes of equality, justice and, above all, quality of life for all of us. While the women work, give birth to the family or take care of the existing ones, set themselves ambitious goals and think about what to wear, when the window is warmer, the state receives more and more new challenges, not only to shake the foundations of a stable and comfortable existence, but also common sense. We are not indifferent to the latest high-profile events related to feminism, and now, when it came to the issue of security, we also could not remain silent. We understand that the same should be done for Russian women to survive in this country.

The law on decriminalization of beatings in the family

After the incident with the possible abolition of abortion, another social discord was the bill passed by the State Duma in the first reading of 11 January 2017 th, the decriminalization of beatings against relatives of persons prepared by Olga Batalina and MPs from the "United Russia". It is known that such an initiative was of provoking an earlier law classifies petty assault against family members or so-called "flip flops" to the number of criminal offenses. According to the politician Elena Mizulina, such a law only aggravated the situation of domestic violence, as "intrafamily assault on the degree of danger became more dangerous than beating other people," which, of course, undermines family values, for which the fight itself Elena Mizulina and Vitaly Milon. Politicians believe that such violations must be punished by administrative and penal sanctions.

Why is this a problem

In short, the essence of the law calls into question the safety of potential and actual victims of domestic violence, which is obviously not in any way help to strengthen Russian families, but only substitute for a real threat, primarily women and children. Of course, no one says that the law - the cause of domestic violence in Russia, but it is clear that the lack of support from the state for the people caught in a difficult situation, is the catalyst of misery and immorality as the ones previously held back the law, so and those for criminal liability is not very much and scared.

MP Olga Batalina explains the law in the following words:

In humans, it caused objective puzzling why conflicts within the family, beating relatives are a crime, and the same actions committed on the street - an administrative offense.

But objective puzzling not only that, but also the fact why the violence in general should be considered a violation, not a crime? And what of the two evils choose the lesser rather than to fight against this evil. Thus the state has not only failed to protect its citizens, but also encourages a dangerous trend for the society - can be beat, but cautiously.

Non-obvious advantages law

But despite the fact that the methods of raising Russian family values ​​from his knees at our government is not the most advanced, if you think about it in the sense Mizulina policy can find a bright idea. The problem is that often citizens are worthy of his government, and vice versa. Under the inculcation of family values ​​deputies certainly understand education in modern humans not only accountable to citizens by law, but also adequate spouses. But it is not exactly. We talked to some people for whom violence - it is a problem that exists closer than you think. Some of their relatives ever inflicted moral and physical harm to their loved ones in a burst of family dramas. After analyzing these situations, you can see another dangerous tendency in addition to violence against women and children, and the problem is, oddly enough, in the absence of a culture of communication with the man. Assume the following scenario: a husband and wife live together in an unhappy marriage. Women caught in such a situation that is aware of his helplessness, and not having the opportunity to change something or financially, morally and logically, there is nothing left except how infinitely "nag" her after having gorged itself pears husband, that sooner or later lead to outbursts of the same unhappy man who can not be held responsible not so much for my family, and even for their own lives.

Of course, we do not condone tired of the lives of men and do not deny that violence - this is an extremely urgent problem to be solved "from above": produce quality laws that provide support for victims, and economically adjust the ability of citizens to be independent financially and ideologically, to to be able to fend for themselves. But it seems that all is not so simple, and you can not ignore the fact that there are cases when domestic violence actually occurs due to a lack of the culture itself, which would give people an idea of ​​how, why and when to engage in marriage, how to approach education themselves, so as not to become a victim of a tyrant, and why these laws - this is the reality, which depends not only on the state.

What you need to do to women

Taking into account all the subtleties of the situation, it seems that women in our country to be more dangerous than it seems. They can no longer be careless, flippant, can not rely on the prospect of marriage and easy to farm, living with your spouse. If a woman will be in a life threatening situation, it will need to "move mountains" to achieve protection, it will have nowhere to go, because in an emergency, experts advise to leave the place of residence, which is home to the abuser. She can not pay all their time raising children, and especially to educate them properly, because of the State Duma received educational standards, which do not tally with common sense. All that remains to do - is to work. Really work, to be able to secure the same level of financial independence, which would allow to protect yourself at least the presence of their own homes, in which case, you can get away with itself and with the children.

Feminism which is so vehemently trying to strangle connoisseurs family ideals - it is common sense, the only thing that can help women. This is not a fight for the absurd freedom with which most women do not even know what to do, or what it all they needed, feminism - this is a necessary step towards the so-called bright future in which the woman finally realized where she was a lifetime made mistakes, why it needs independence, rather than an opportunity to show their nipples, it is necessary to create a strong, coherent and happy family, and what you need to do to get better. The state, as well as relationships, - two-way street. We get what we get, and we will get it for as long as we show that we deserve more. That is why feminism is needed more than ever to modern women. To prevent the risk of becoming a victim of violence, you need to know about this issue as much as possible and raise their awareness about where you can and should apply to the case of danger, because there are both free hot line, ready to provide not only moral support in our country, but also specific financial assistance to victims, as well as places to which anyone who is at risk may apply and even get the opportunity to temporary safe accommodation away from the abuser. Begin to explore this question for yourself, even if you think you are safe, since such things are not only needed to help those in need, but also to open our eyes to the reality of those who have not seen the need to live "here and now".
