On the 25th of November we celebrate the International Day for the Elimination of the Violence against Women. For example, according to the U.S. Department of Justices, a domestic violence is...
" a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain control over another intimate partner. Many forms of abuse are included in the definition of domestic violence:
- Physical abuse can include hitting, biting, slapping, battering, shoving, punching, pulling hair, burning, cutting, pinching, etc. (any type of violent behavior inflicted on the victim). Physical abuse also includes denying someone medical treatment and forcing drug/alcohol use on someone.
- Sexual abuse occurs when the abuser coerces or attempts to coerce the victim into having sexual contact or sexual behavior without the victims consent. This often takes the form of marital rape, attacking sexual body parts, physical violence that is followed by forcing sex, sexually demeaning the victim, or even telling sexual jokes at the victims expense.
- Emotional abuse involves invalidating or deflating the victims sense of self-worth and/or self-esteem. Emotional abuse often takes the form of constant criticism, name-calling, injuring the victims relationship with his/her children, or interfering with the victims abilities.
- Economic abuse takes place when the abuser makes or tries to make the victim financially reliant. Economic abusers often seek to maintain total control over financial resources, withhold the victims access to funds, or prohibit the victim from going to school or work.
- Psychological abuse involves the abuser invoking fear through intimidation; threatening to physically hurt himself/herself, the victim, children, the victims family or friends, or the pets; destruction of property; injuring the pets; isolating the victim from loved ones; and prohibiting the victim from going to school or work.
- Threats to hit, injure, or use a weapon are a form of psychological abuse.
- Stalking can include following the victim, spying, watching, harassing, showing up at the victims home or work, sending gifts, collecting information, making phone calls, leaving written messages, or appearing at a person's home or workplace. These acts individually are typically legal, but any of these behaviors done continuously results in stalking a crime.
- Cyberstalking refers to online action or repeated emailing that inflicts substantial emotional distress in the recipient.
Domestic violence occurs among all ethnic groups and all cultures, among all ages, all income levels, all faiths and all education levels. For some people, their social, economic or cultural background may make it harder for them to get help. Lack of money, racial bias, language barriers, immigration status, anti-gay or lesbian beliefs, and religious beliefs can create barriers for survivors. In homes where one partner abuses the other partner, there is an increased risk that the batterer may also abuse the child. Just witnessing domestic violence in the home can have harmful effects on children. Threats of kidnapping or harming children may impact the survivor’s concentration at work.
To support the world campaign against domestic violence, I decided to use music as a "weapon" to spread this message: if you know somebody who´s been suffering the domestic violence or bad behaviour, please don´t judge them or take them as a weak person. Instead of it, try to listen to them, support them, make them believe that they are able to stand on their own feet, that they are strong enough to be free...Just like did a Spanish singer Bebe in her song "Malo" - Bad....Be strong, and don´t be blind to the signs around you. It can happen to everybody, but EVERYBODY of us can help, too....

BEBE-
MALO
Apareciste una noche fría
Con olor a tabaco sucio y a ginebra
El miedo ya me recorría
Miestras cruzaba los deditos tras la puerta
Tu carita de niño guapo
Se la ha ido comiendo el tiempo
Por tus venas
Y tu inseguridad machita
Se refleja cada día en mis lagrimitas.
Una vez más no por favor
Que estoy cansa' y no puedo con el corazón
Una vez más no mi amor por favor
No grites que los niños duermen.
Una vez más no por favor
Que estoy cansa' y no puedo con el corazón
Una vez más no mi amor por favor
No grites que los niños duermen.
Voy a volverme como el fuego
Voy a quemar tu puño de acero
Y del morado de mis mejillas
Saldrá el valor pa cobrarme las heridas.
Malo, malo, malo eres
No se daña a quien se quiere no
Tonto, tonto, tonto eres
No te pienses mejor que las mujeres
Malo, malo, malo eres
No se daña a quien se quiere no
Tonto, tonto, tonto eres
No te pienses mejor que las mujeres
El día es gris cuando tu estás
Y el sol vuelve a salir cuando te vas
Y la penita de mi corazón
Yo me la tengo que tragar con el fogón
Mi carita de niña linda
Se ha ido envejeciendo en el silencio
Cada vez que me dices puta
Se hace tu cerebro más pequeño
Una vez más no por favor
Que estoy cansa' y no puedo con el corazón
Una vez más no mi amor por favor
No grites que los niños duermen.
Una vez más no por favor
Que estoy cansa' y no puedo con el corazón
Una vez más no mi amor por favor
No grites que los niños duermen.
Voy a volverme como el fuego
Voy a quemar tu puño de acero
Y del morado de mis mejillas
Saldrá el valor pa cobrarme las heridas.
Malo, malo, malo eres
No se daña a quien se quiere no
Tonto, tonto, tonto eres
No te pienses mejor que las mujeres
Malo, malo, malo eres
No se daña a quien se quiere no
Tonto, tonto, tonto eres
No te pienses mejor que las mujeres
Voy a volverme como el fuego
Voy a quemar tu puño de acero
Y del morado de mis mejillas
Saldrá el valor pa cobrarme las heridas.
Malo, malo, malo eres
No se daña a quien se quiere no
Tonto, tonto, tonto eres
No te pienses mejor que las mujeres
Malo, malo, malo eres
No se daña a quien se quiere no
Tonto, tonto, tonto eres
No te pienses mejor que las mujeres
Malo, malo, malo eres
Malo eres porque quieres
Malo, malo, malo eres
No me chilles que me duele
Eres débil y eres malo
Y no te pienses mejor que yo ni que nadie
Y ahora yo me fumo un cigarrito
Y te echo el humo en el corazoncito
Porque
Malo, malo, malo eres tu
Malo, malo, malo eres si
Malo, malo, malo eres siempre
Malo, malo, malo eres.

Evil/ Bad
You appeared on a cold night
Smelling filthy tobacco and gin,
A fear passed through me
I crossed fingers behind the door
Your pretty childish face
Eaten by time
By your veins
And your machismo's insecurity
Is reflected every day in my
tears
Once again, no please
I'm tired and my heart can't put up
Once again, my love, please
No yelling, 'cause the children are sleeping
Once again, no please
I'm tired and my heart can't put up
Once again, my love, please
No yelling, 'cause the children are sleeping
I´m going to come as a fire
I'll burn your fists of steel
And the bruises of my cheeks
Will give me the courage to repay the wounds
Evil, evil, evil, you are
You don't hurt the one you love: No!
Stupid, stupid, stupid you are
Don't consider youself better than women
Evil, evil, evil, you are
You don't hurt the one you love: No!
Stupid, stupid, stupid you are
Don't consider youself better than women
The day's grey when you are (here)
And the sun returns
When you leave
And the pain of my heart
I have to swallow it up
by cooking
My beautiful girly face has aged
in silence
Every time you're calling me "whore!"
Your brain becomes smaller
Once again, no please
I'm tired and my heart can't put up
Once again, my love, please
No yelling, 'cause the children are sleeping
Once again, no please
I'm tired and my heart can't put up
Once again, my love, please
No yelling, 'cause the children are sleeping
I´m going to come as a fire
I'll burn your fists of steel
And the bruises of my cheeks
Will give me the courage to repay the wounds
Evil, evil, evil, you are
You don't hurt the one you love: No!
Stupid, stupid, stupid you are
Don't consider youself better than women
Evil, evil, evil, you are
You don't hurt the one you love: No!
Stupid, stupid, stupid you are
Don't consider youself better than women
You're evil
´Cause you want to
Evil, evil, evil, you are
Don't yell at me 'cause you hurt me
You're weak, you're evil
And don't consider yourself better than me
Nor than anyone
And now I'm smoking a cigarette
And I blow the smoke to your puny heart
'
Cause evil, evil, evil, you are
Evil, evil, evil, you are: You!
Evil, evil, evil, you are: Yes!
Evil, evil, evil, you are: Always!
Evil, evil, evil, you are
