Why do crimes by women against men make headlines—while daily violence against women is met with silence?
Because one is rare, and the other is routine.
The overwhelming majority of gender-based violence is committed by men against women. But we’ve normalized it so deeply that it barely registers in our collective memory.
We don’t remember the daily assaults, harassment, and abuse women face—because society expects women to endure it.
Silence enables violence. Awareness is the first step to change.
Not by ignoring rare cases, but by refusing to overlook the widespread ones.
