“You’re Turning Women Into Victims”

<p>The reality is that girls and women experience sexism or misogyny in every walk of life, at every time of the day and night. We&nbsp;<em>are</em>&nbsp;victims. The general definition of &lsquo;victim&rsquo; is &ldquo;<em>a person harmed, injured, or killed as a result of a crime, accident, or other event or action</em>&rdquo;. This harm can be physical, reputational, emotional, or professional and the action can be anything from murder, rape and assault to workplace discrimination, microaggressions or banter. Sometimes a victim doesn&rsquo;t even know she&rsquo;s being harmed.</p> <p>A victim of discrimination is someone who&rsquo;s been treated differently or unfairly because of a certain protected characteristic. It doesn&rsquo;t always mean we&rsquo;re bleeding from a wound or inconsolably upset.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/the-virago/youre-turning-women-into-victims-9cb54cf356d2"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
