In these very different times, the word has taken on a particularly active value.
Each group of women has been deepening more and more concepts that for years had watertight meanings.
Today women together deconstruct love, beauty and family with total freedom.
"... how good to clean your head and start using it without those patriarchal mandates"
In each meeting the speech flows and is interrupted only because one woman gives the floor to another. Today, in times of virtual encounters, someone asks to speak from a sign, so as not to silence anyone's word.
More and more women are encouraged to question what they have learned.
New questions and answers arise.
What is beauty? What is love? What is a family?
We are deconstructing stereotypes and putting together new constructions of meaning.
“For centuries they taught us that we could not think, they taught us to be thought and when we realize it we cannot believe that we are thought by them and that is when we begin to realize that we can think for ourselves and reject so much stupidity, that social mandate of the role of women in which they imprisoned us as a gender subjected to men "
In one of the mutual aid groups, a woman tells of having been distressed during the week by a questioning of her own sister and mother regarding her body, she instantly manages to identify that this modality took place throughout her childhood and youth.
The shocked women of the group quickly problematize beauty, defend and embrace their partner with words.
Why was this event therapeutic?
Because it was possible to work with women self-esteem and empowerment; fundamental for the exit from violence.
It is effective both for the woman who brings the situation to the group, as well as for those who lived, live or will live a similar situation.
"The first step is the hardest, the biggest, which is realization."
“I wonder what changed? What will change? It seemed very wise to understand that there are situations that we are going to go through again, but they do not have to be the same. We can put new guidelines and rules. "
“Let's remember to ask for help when we don't see clarity. We don't have to wait for the next meeting. "
"Thank you girls, thank you."
Every week some experience of a woman brings new elements to continue working and strengthening each one in her process towards the goal. A life without violence.
