El abuso sexual es un tipo de actividad o contacto sexual en el que no das tu consentimiento. Un atacante puede usar la fuerza física o amenazas, o darle dr**as o alcohol a su víctima para abusarla sexualmente. El abuso sexual incluye violación y coerción sexual. En los Estados Unidos, una de cada tres mujeres sufrió algún tipo de violencia sexual.1 Si sufriste un ataque sexual, no es tu culpa, no importa en qué circunstancias haya ocurrido.

Tantos casos que escuchamos hoy en día de feminicidios perpetrados por la propia pareja, o casos ya ni siquiera de gente en las noticias, sino de amigas, compañeras y familiares que nos cuentan historias de abuso sexual efectuado por sus parejas, y sin embargo seguimos viendo títulos de videos y entrevistas preguntando si existe la violencia dentro de la pareja. Sí. Existe. Se da mucho más frecuentemente de lo que queremos aceptar y no hay mucho que se esté haciendo al respecto.

While coercive control often begins with psychological tactics, it frequently escalates to physical violence. By this stage, intense manipulation and isolation can make it difficult for a survivor to recognize the danger. Physical abuse may involve shoving or life-threatening actions like strangulation—a clear sign of lethal intent. This violence often extends to children and pets and can include various forms of sexual assault.

Abusers love excuses. They yelled at you because they were drunk. They hit you because they were hit as children. They’re abusive because they’re depressed. It’s not their fault. You should be more understanding.

Abusers will not take meaningful responsibility for their behavior. The first step to change is admitting that they are accountable for how they have treated you. Abusers who deny what they have done or who blame it on something or someone else—are not ready to change. DomesticShelters.org

Mental abuse, a combination of verbal abuse and emotional abuse, is one of many tactics abusers use to exert power and control over a partner. Through brainwashing, blame and shame, degrading insults and gaslighting, victims begin to become a shell of themselves. They’re confused as to how the person they perhaps once loved and trusted became their biggest critic. Victims can often try to counteract this abuse by trying to “behave better,” not make any mistakes or become subservient, passive, almost invisible. DomesticShelters.org

We know that abusers strangle their victims as a way to exert power and control over them—they want their victims to know they can kill them at any time. But let’s not also forget strangulation has a just-as-sinister cousin: suffocation. It could be done with a hand, a pillow or another object, or by applying pressure to a victim's chest, but the purpose of suffocation is to restrict oxygen to a sometimes-deadly level. Both suffocation and strangulation show an escalation in violence, say experts, and if it’s not the cause of a domestic violence homicide, it’s certainly a sign things are headed in a deadly direction.
