Today there are many cases of violations in the media daily. I have attended many talks about feminism and give data from a company dedicated to statistics where the number of violations decreases. However, the media tell us otherwise because we do not stop seeing daily violations that occur anywhere in the world. Is it true that the number of violations is decreasing or nevertheless increasing?
It is entirely possible that media reports are biased from a research/methodology perspective. Unless you could show that, over the time you are measuring, the media is reporting all known cases, then you can't use it as the measurement for suggesting rises or declines in a given crime.
Personally I think that today there are fewer violations than those that could have occurred in previous decades, and this is due, among other things, to large social movements such as feminism that promote a change of mentality, in addition to other educational methods that teach The concept of consent above all. These measures that we have today, did not exist in previous times, and seeing that machism was much more pronounced in past centuries, it was "normal" for more violations to occur. Part of the problem that seems to be more violations today is the media because they give great visibility to these cases, in addition to presenting the statistics, but returning to the above, I think compared to the violations that happened in past times, they are much less nowadays since those that were produced, were invisible and normalized.
I think it is not the number of violations that has changed over the time but the definition of what is violation.
if the past it was simple division men vs women and violation was a clear cut event
today we talk about intersectional female identity where race, religion, social class and other things get mixed in the situation therefore harder to measure with old measurement tools and therefore it looks as the numbers go down
but in reality the holes in the net are too big and the data just swims through it
Fron my point of view, there aren´t more violations but women today report more than before this type of situations.
