Thanks to the viral reach of the #MeToo movement initially promoted by celebrities and now a movement for all, it showed the reality of American society, where misogyny, discrimination and mistreatment against women still abound. According to data, about 1.3 million women are victims of sexual assaults annually by their boyfriends, sexual partners or husbands, and the main risk group is women between 20 and 24 years old.
Lastly, I would like to add that if you are a victim of abuse and have the desire to report or have someone give you emotional support, in the following link you will find help numbers in case of sexual assault or harassment in Mexico:
