In a study by UN Women and the Egyptian Ministry of Health, 99% of the women surveyed said they had suffered sexual harassment, and 47% some form of violence in the family. An average of 75% of Kenyan women have undergone the practice of Female Genital Mutilation. In the Kikuyu tribe, one of the largest in Kenya, initiation is practiced on many girls at the same time in the house of the sorceress. This ancient custom, practiced on 3,000,000 girls a year, in countries such as Somalia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, Ghana, Senegal, Nigeria, Benin, Sierra Leone, Egypt and Burkina Faso, in 90% of cases results in death. According to UNICEF, more than 30 million girls are expected to be affected in the next decade.

The rapes that women must experience daily are impressive; she is physically, psychically, sexually and economically violated by her family, partner, co-workers and the whole society in general. Sexual abuse, forced prostitution, trafficking and slavery of girls and women, sexual harassment and intimidation, genital mutilation, forced sterilization and abortion, and infanticide are, just to name a few, the forms of rape suffered by African women. It goes without saying that all this is socially accepted, the aggressors are acquitted based on the concepts of the African macho society.

In India, 80% of marriages are "arranged" or arranged by the parents of the contracting parties. The woman is seen as an economic asset and is subject to the decisions of her parents, both to agree on the age of marriage and to choose her husband. The wife becomes dependent on another family, not only on the husband but also on the mother-in-law and the rest of her husband's family.

In Mexico, what the official figures show is just a sample of the wave of violence that the country is experiencing, with 2,444 people killed in March and where an average of 10 women lose their lives every day at the hands of machismo.

@YES_SHECANWECAN is a project that was born in September with the intention of promoting a favorable social and economic environment that guarantees equal treatment for all women and men and significantly improves the condition of women in the world.

The project revolves around the prevention and detection of situations of inequality and violence that women suffer through the patriarchal system.

The main objective is to make a SHORT FILM that shows the testimonies of the struggle against the problems of: sexism, urban violence, gender discrimination, for this, mainly women and men from different countries of the world will be interviewed.

It is intended to sensitize the public to continue fighting for women's rights, to invite our men to support us on this long path of equity and equality, to invite our women to recognize that any struggle for women, any struggle for Women's Rights is feminist, but above all for this short film to serve as a model for similar statistical profiles of countries, areas, regions and provinces, which would contribute to the development of policies to put into practice a basic principle of the United Nations: GENDER EQUALITY.
