Sexual Objectification of Women
Problem statement:
According to the estimates data published by the WHO indicate that about one in three (35%) women in the world have suffered physical violence or sexual violence by third parties at some point in their lives. The most frequent form the Interpersonal sexual objectification of Women: it is converted into a sexual object available to man. The objectification is the result of such denial, while the woman is considered a subject inferior to man and its existence is assumed as an argument in favor of pleasure and satisfaction of the male sex and not as what is universally right: an individual naturally worthy and of value for his condition of human person, capable and deserving of the same opportunities. It is necessary to visualize this problem. Women are more than a body.
