Under a Hijab / Ladies of Hive Community Contest #103
Mahsa Amini, a woman like you or me, was brutally beaten just because a little bit of her hair was showing and maybe it came loose from under her Hijab.

Of the most deeply rooted customs or beliefs of a population, the male chauvinist remains the first and the one that has cost the most to eradicate from a country. As long as the social policies of a country continue to support this type of law in its constitution, we will not be able to get out of the mistreatment of women.
While in many countries it has been possible to break with this type of customs, the Middle East continues to be one of those that gives much to talk about, even in the 21st century where the world has progressed in innovations and modernity abounds every day.
Women continue to be mistreated until death for what is considered a simple act on her part or an oversight.
My opinion on this type of news is impotence and anger at what happens to a genre that is the one that brings the children of these abusive men into the world, the one that watches over the family and the home, the one that is a slave to her house so that her husband lives peacefully at ease, the one that is supposed to be the man's rib to be his faithful companion and not the rag with which he cleans the floor.
I don't understand if they are so religious they don't take into account the verses of Genesis where God gives a man a wife to help him, so that he doesn't live alone. It seems that this part of the bible is not in your books, everything is at your convenience.
My biological father is Lebanese, so I have Arab ancestry. But I thank God very much for not having been born in a nation where its laws are wrong and where women do not have any kind of consideration.
As a human being, I would have the right to meet my Arab family, but I would only do it to visit the country and learn a little about how people live there, although I know that there are many risks even as a visitor.

How can we help ?
Everything that is done in favor of eradicating this type of action is not enough, but it does help. Although it is believed that protests are not taken into account, there is always someone who pays attention to them. You have to start with something and this is a good option.
Would you run away?
Of course, if I were to flee, I would do everything possible to leave the country not only to protect my integrity but also the integrity of my children, if any. I would not like to give that same treatment to one of my daughters, I would not be able to bear it.
Many times we do not seek help because the same environment in which you live you find people who tell you that this is normal, but it is not. Family members often help, but at certain times they make you see that you have to put up with it because that's the custom. I would tell you to find out and find out if there are organizations that can help you.

Look for information, research about organizations
Information is power !!
There are non-profit organizations that can help you if you find yourself in a dangerous situation. You should know where they are located and how they can help you. Surely you can save your life by this means. Acnur is a non-profit organization that works on human rights, it could be your lifeline.
https://news.un.org/es/story/2020/11/1484692
The United Nations is another non-profit organization that helps in human rights and women and gender violence, they have offices all over the world.
Just like you are, there are others that work together with these large organizations at the national level in your country. You just have to investigate one nearby that can give you the help you need.
I really hope that this information or call reaches the hands of many women who see this community worldwide so that they seek help if they need it. I invite my friends @humbe. @evegrase and @meyateingi ngi to answer questions from our colleague and friend @thekittygirl.

Traduccion al Español:
Debajo de un Hijab.
Mahsa Amini, una mujer como tu o como yo, fue golpeada brutalmente solo porque se mostraba un poco de su cabello que quizas se le solto por debajo de su Hijab.
De las costumbres o creencias mas araigadas de una poblacion sigue siendo la machista la primera y la que ha costado mas erradicar de un pais. Mientras que las politicas sociales de un pais continuen apoyando este tipo de leyes en su constitucion no podremos salir del maltrato a la mujer.
Mientras en muchos paises se ha podido romper con este tipo de costumbres, el medio oriente sigue siendo uno de los que da mucho de que hablar, aun en pleno siglo 21 donde el mundo ha progresado en innovasiones y la modernidad abunda cada dia.
Las mujeres siguen siendo mal tratadas hasta llegar a la muerte por lo que se considera una simple actuacion de parte de ella o un descuido.
Mi opinion sobre este tipo de noticias es impotencia y rabia por lo que sucede a un genero que es la que trae al mundo a los hijos de esos hombres maltratadores, la que vela por la familia y el hogar, la que es esclava de su casa para que su esposo viva tranquilo a sus anchas, la que se supone que es la costilla del hombre para que sea su compañera fiel y no el trapo con la que limpie el piso.
No entiendo si ellos son tan religiosos no toman en cuenta los versiculos del Genesis donde Dios le da una esposa a un hombre para que le ayude, para que no viva solo. Parece que esa parte de la biblia no esta en sus libros, todo es a su conveniencia.
Mi padre biologico es Libanes, asi que tengo ascendencia arabe. Pero le doy muchas gracias a Dios de no haber nacido en una nacion donde sus leyes estan erradas y donde la mujer no tiene ningun tipo de consideracion.
Como ser humano tendria el derecho de conocer a mi familia arabe, pero solo lo haria para visitar el pais y conocer un poco de como se vive alla, aunque se que se corre mucho riesgos hasta como visitante.
Como podemos ayudar ?
Todo lo que se haga en pro de erradicar este tipo de actuaciones no es sufiente pero si ayuda. Aunque se crea que las protestas no son tomadas en cuenta siempre hay alguien que si le presta atencion. Por algo hay que empezar y esta es una buena opcion.
Huiria ?
Claro que si huiria, haria todo lo posible por salir del pais no solo para proteger mi integridad sino la integridad de mis hijos si los hubiera. No me gustaria darle ese mismo trato a una de mis hijas, no seria capaz de soportarlo.
Muchas veces no buscamos ayuda porque el mismo medio en el que vives encuentras personas que te dicen que eso es normal, pero no es asi. Los familiares muchas veces ayudan, pero en ciertos momentos te hacen ver que tienes que aguantar porque asi es esa costumbre. Yo te diria que averigues y que te informes si hay organizaciones que te pueden ayudar.
Busca informacion, investiga sobre las organizaciones.
La informacion es poder !!
Exsisten organizaciones sin fines de lucro que te pueden ayudar si te ves en situacion de peligro. Debes conocer donde estan ubicadas y como pueden ayudarte. Seguramente podras salvar tu vida por este medio. Acnur es una organizacion sin fines de lucro que trabaja en los derechos humanos, podria ser tu tabla de salvacion.
Las Naciones Unidas es otra organizacion sin fines de lucro que ayuda en los derechos humanos y a la mujer y la violencia de genero, tienen oficinas en todo el mundo.
Asi como estas, hay otras que trabajan en conjunto con estas grandes organizaciones a nivel nacional en tu pais. Solo tienes que investigar alguna cercana que pueda brindarte la ayuda que necesitas.
En verdad espero que esta informacion o llamado llegue a la mano de muchas mujeres que ven esta comunidad a nivel mundial para que busquen ayuda si la necesitan. Invito a mis amigas @humbe. @evegrase y @meyateingi ngi para que respondan las preguntas de nuestra compañera y amiga @thekittygirl.

LOHtokens.@isabelpena, You have received 1.0000 LOH for posting in Ladies of Hive. We believe that you should be rewarded for the time and effort spent in creating articles. The goal is to encourage token holders to accumulate and hodl LOH tokens over a long period of time.
Thank you for your support.
Thank You for the invite @isabelpena, hopefully, I will gather the courage too to write something in memory of Mahsa 🌺.
It must be really hard being born in nations like this where women are oppressed and having a girl child could be worrying as a mother realizing how much trauma could be waiting for her in the street. You are fortunate not to be born and raised in your paternal country.
Indeed it is a painful reality that people expect one to normalize the custom just because someone thinks they have the right to detect how a woman should behave. What is more upsetting is all these customs mainly focus on women and males are raised in that toxic environment to also see women as someone whose morals need to be monitored and dictated to. That's why even some family members would expect women to put up with all this treatment.
Thanks for bringing awareness and sharing a list of organisations like the UN that are available worldwide to help with human rights, and Gender-based violence.
Thank you for accepting my friend invitation, I hope to read your entry and together we can create a bit of noise to put a grain of sand so that the laws are changed in these countries.
Gracias por aceptar mi invitacion amiga, espero leer tu entrada y entre todas podamos crear un poco de ruido para poner un granito de arena para que las leyes sean cambiadas en estos paises.
Indeed we can't just pretend it is just another day, another Iranian and look away. We must stand together and not give in to this treatment. It's comforting that women are already protesting and sharing their voices.
I feel sorry for you . I have seen Muslim women herein my country but they are never mistreated that way. Some even had become doctors and they are very good at what they do. I hope every woman in you blood will be treated equally as men
Thank you friend for your concern, I am very well. In this part of the world there is machismo but it is a small part. Around here you hear news of this type with Arab women, I don't know if they are entirely true, but it makes us very helpless that this happens. In Venezuela there is a large Arab community and that does not happen with them either, there they are free like any Venezuelan.
Thank you for your entry to our weekly contest! 😊

Thanks to you and the community.
Imagining how helpless some women in places where their space to move seems to be very small and limited makes me sad and wonder why people make such laws that uplifts one gender but degrades another...
Thank you for sharing your feelings and views...

Thank you for going through my blog. Everything we can do to change those laws of those countries, let's do it.
You're welcome and yes, every little bit of action would help.
I was truly heartbroken when I first saw the news, in this 21st century where women are killing it, being real bosses. There are some women out there who can't speak for themselves,can't dress the way they want and gets killed if a little bit of hair is shown.
It is something very sad, we have to raise our voices to change all those laws. That is already obsolete, they must be modernized.
✊✊. Yes, they must be modernized. And we have to play our parts by speaking up and sticking for all women no matter where they're from
It's easy for us to feel helpless and don't know how to help those poor women. Those organizations you mentioned are the best place to seek help. On the individual level, I think the best way to help them is to create awareness through our writings, music, art etc. If a lot of people are talking about it, there will be a ripple effect at some point and change is not too far-fetched.
These small actions that we do by spreading the news are generating positive responses in this community. I believe that these protests are the best action that can be taken to achieve an end to violence against women, the whole world is seeing it even though they want to censor the news. I think that this time they will not be able to, unfortunately another woman had to die, but the aim is for them not to die anymore and for the laws to change because we are in the 21st century where those laws must be abolished.
On this platform there are many women who live in those countries where there are those laws against the freedom of women and in favor of mistreatment of them. I sincerely hope that what you see here will be of great help to you if you find yourself in a situation of violence.
The world is watching this news and is realizing that we cannot allow more deaths of women for the simple fact of having loosened a bit of hair from their veil or hijab.
Estas pequeñas acciones que hacemos al difundir la noticia estan generando respuestas positivas en esta comunidad. Creo que estas protestas son la mejor accion que se puede hacer para lograr el cese a la violencia a las mujeres, lo esta viendo el mundo entero aunque quieren censurar las noticias. Creo que esta vez no podran, lamentablemente tuvo que morir otra mujer pero se busca que no mueran mas y que las leyes cambien porque estamos en pleno siglo 21 donde ya deben ser abolidas esas leyes.
En esta plataforma hay muchas mujeres que viven en esos paises donde existen esas leyes en contra de la libertad de la mujer y a favor del mal trato hacia ellas. Espero de corazon que esto que ven aqui les sea de mucha ayuda si llegaran a encontrarse en una situacion de violencia.
El mundo esta viendo estas noticias y se esta dando cuenta que no podemos permitir mas muertes d mujeres por el simple hecho de habersele soltado un poco de cabello de su velo o hijab
Wuao, thank God your father is not forcing you to follow such backward beliefs as wearing the veil.
That's right friend, what happened is that my father left Lebanon when he was young, he met my mother in Venezuela, he had 2 daughters, a sister and me.
