Details of Tangshan's cases are announced!It's not enough to "let girls learn to protect themselves"

On June 21, the Hebei Police reported the latest progress in the "Tangshan Beat". According to the report, the degree of damage to the female Wang Moumou and Liu Moumou was minor injuries (secondary), and the degree of damage of Yuanmou and Li was minor injuries; during the case of handling the case, he found that the suspect Chen Mouzhi was other illegal and criminal clues. It is stepping up investigating whether the investigation is suspected of criminal crime. On the same day, the Hebei Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection reported that five public officials were investigated for severe violations of discipline and violations of laws and cases involving people and other related cases. The specific situation of the beating incident has been basically clear. In the discussion of this incident, some gender prejudice and misunderstandings still need to be clarified.

In Tangshan's fighting incident, some people blamed the victims and believed that women should learn to protect themselves; some people strongly oppose the gender perspective. The reason is that such violence makes men also feel fear, not only about women's safety. This incident is indeed the violence of the strong to the weak. In some violent incidents, men do become victims. However, from the perspective of social security and the rule of law, whether it is from the global or domestic research data, it has been repeatedly being repeatedly being quilt -by repeatedly. The exposure violence is still from the perspective of many people's life experience. Most of the violence is the violence of men for women. The cause of Tangshan's beating incident is that men's sexual harassment to women, sexual harassment is also a kind of gender violence. Such gender violence is a social phenomenon, not a special case.

On the day of the incident, the author's work partner was doing sex education and training for some primary and secondary school teachers, so he brought this news hot event as an example and asked the teachers present on the incident. Most teachers responded: Teach girls to learn to protect herself. Let girls learn to protect themselves, this is a common response to people when facing women's violence, but this is not enough. A woman with a physical strength is far inferior to men, and she is beaten by harassment. How can she protect herself?

Although Tangshan's beating incident satisfies the perfect victim image in people's hearts, looking at the sound on the Internet, some people still accuse the victims of "unknown" and "excessive behavior". female. The teachers who participated in the training mentioned earlier are almost all female teachers. All of this has to be shocked by a reality: gender prejudice and gender blind spots are so common, and even women have prejudice against women. The author has been engaged in sex education and campus gender violence prevention education for several years, and it is naturally sensitive to such topics and discussions. Through the power of the Internet, public opinion fermentation has surpassed the restrictions of time and space, becoming part of the social and cultural environment. The vast number of minors in it, in such a social environment, without the blessing of school education, it is difficult for them to establish the concept of gender equality, and it is difficult to avoid such incidents. In my opinion, through the Tangshan incident, the current education is fully reflected, and the solution to the solution of the problem from school education is the greatest value brought by this incident. Therefore, the author wants to talk about how to prevent and solve the problem of gender violence through school education.

Before talking about strategies, it is necessary to clarify three key issues.

First of all, the general existence of gender violence is an indisputable fact, which occurs in schools, family, workplace, community, and network space. This is the case worldwide and China.

Gender violence refers to the behavior of gender discrimination, gender character expectations and stereotypes, as well as the differences in gender -based power status, or may cause damage or pain to someone's limbs, sex, or psychology. Gender violence includes rape, sexual contact of others' wishes, is not popular with sexual behavior and sexual meaning, as well as corporal punishment, bullying, and words of words. The inequality relationship between adults and children, men and women has promoted this violence. This violence will strengthen gender characters and make gender inequality permanently.

The World Health Organization reports that about one -third of women around the world have suffered gender violence in their lives. A multinational survey in the 2013 United Nations found that male interviewees reported on women or girls who had raped women or girls accounted for 10%-62%. According to data from the Asia -Pacific region in 2021, more than 37%of South Asian women, 40%of Southeast Asian women and 68%of Pacific women have suffered violence from partners. Studies have also found that 30%to 40%of Asian women have been sexually harassed in workplace. Relevant research in China shows that 39%of women reported that they had suffered physical or sexual violence from male partners, and 38%had suffered mental violence; 52%of men reported that they had applied physical or sexual violence to female partners, 43 43, 43, 43, 43 %Have performed mental violence. Both junior boys and girls may suffer from gender violence. A report issued by the UNESCO states that girls are more likely to suffer sexual violence and sexual harassment as well as psychological violence and cyber violence, and boys are more likely to suffer physical violence such as corporal punishment. At the same time, adolescents that do not comply with traditional men's and women's dual gender specifications are more likely to suffer violence, and their adverse consequences are more significant. China's public welfare organization "Girl Protection" has studied the cases of sexual assault children exposed by the media over the years. The results of the research in 2021 show that more than 90%of the girls who suffer sexual assaults, and 75%of the children who have sexually assaulted sexual assault are 14 years old. Under the age. Second, gender violence is a violation of human rights, seriously endangering people's physical and mental health and dignity, and affecting social and economic development. Gender violence is particularly harmful to minors. Studies have shown that gender violence on campus not only affects students' safety and physical and mental health, but also reduces the rate of entry and attendance, increases the dropout rate, and affects its learning results. Studies also show that children who have witnessed or experienced violence are more likely to use or suffer violence in future life, forming a vicious circle of violence. At the same time, the socio -economic cost brought by children's violence is also huge. Related studies have shown that the impact of gender violence on campus on students' learning results is equivalent to losing the entire school year of elementary school. About 17 billion US dollars, which exceeds the total international education assistance of US $ 13 billion per year.

Third, there are many risk factors that lead to gender violence, from individuals, families, schools, workplaces, communities, and wider society, but more importantly, to understand the root of gender violence, that is, a wider range of widespread Structural issues, social norms, deep -rooted beliefs and behavioral models of social gender and authoritative concepts. The social expectations of traditional gender relationships such as singing women, men and women weakness, the rejection of non -traditional gender images, and the maintenance of the authoritative image of adults, especially adult men, have led to the speech and behavior of gender discrimination. To maintain an authoritative mentality and behavior model, and violence has further strengthened these society and gender norms, exacerbating gender inequality.

Correcting the nature, status and causes of gender violence is the basis of exploring the way of solution. Education has an irreplaceable unique advantage in solving this problem, that is, education affects social concepts, changes social norms by shaping personal values, attitudes, and behaviors, and changes social norms, and fundamentally prevent violence.

How to start with education to solve the problem of gender violence? The main five points are proposed here.

First, form a consensus. Through school education to cure gender violence, the education department and schools need to form a consensus on this issue, deeply identify the important concepts and principles such as rights and gender equality, child priority, and maximization of children's interests to identify the significance of solving the problem of gender violence.

Second, carry out educational activities. The most direct channel for the school is education and teaching activities. Through the carefully designed off -campus curriculum and effective education and teaching methods, schools can guide and encourage students to reflect on unhealthy social gender norms, carry out discussions on male temperament and feminine temperament, break people's having common gender prejudice and stereotypes, establish respect for respect The attitude of equality and acceptance, cultivate the same reasoning, communication, cooperation, decision -making and other living skills, effectively affect the changes in the behavior of young people in life and interpersonal relationships, thereby avoiding or reducing violence.

Third, the whole school participates. To carry out effective education and teaching activities, it is necessary to train well educators, and provide them with teaching tools and work guidelines for prevention and response to gender violence. At the same time, they also need to create favorable campus and community environments. UNESCO proposes that solving the gender violence of campus needs to adopt the school participation model, that is, the teaching authorities, the school, and the wider community cooperation are based on the learners. To comply with certain behavioral rules, the school's unanimous emphasis on the gender violence of campus from top to bottom, from the inside out is an absolutely unacceptable behavior.

Fourth, the development of gender equality and comprehensive education is an important starting point for preventing gender violence. In 2021, the Chinese Government's "Outline of Chinese Women's Development" (2021-2030) and "Chinese Children's Development Outline" (2021-2030) are clearly required to carry out gender equality education in comprehensively and extensively in young and middle schools and kindergartens. In the same year, the Protection Law (revised draft) issued by the same year and the protection regulations of the minor student schools issued by the Ministry of Education requires the school to carry out sexual education of appropriate age to improve the self -protection and ability of students' self -protection and sexual harassment. In 2018, six UNESCO and other six United Nations institutions jointly issued the "International Education Technical Guidance Outline" (revised version) to provide guidelines for comprehensive education for various countries, and emphasize that the development of sex education should be based on the principles of rights and gender equality. From the aspects of knowledge, emotional attitude, values, and life skills, we have a solid foundation for the healthy growth of children and adolescents. Among the 8 core concepts of comprehensive education, two very related concepts, including "understanding social gender" and "violence and security", focusing on the theme of gender violence, from the aspects of knowledge, skills and attitudes Specific teaching goals for different ages. Fifth, legal policies, mechanisms and support services. The development of school education and teaching requires more extensive policies and environmental support, as well as related response mechanisms and support services. With strong legal and policy support such as the Protection Law of the Minor, preventing and cope with the gender violence of campus, and the education department needs to cooperate with other departments to carry out comprehensive cross -departmental cooperation, involving hygiene, public security, judicial, social security, children's protection, etc. Participation in the department. In 2016, the UNESCO and the United Nations Women's Agency jointly released the "Solving the Global Guidance for Campus Gender Violence", which proposed the overall strategic framework, including the improvement of legal policies and the education reform, the safe campus environment, effective courses and teaching, and teaching. The reporting mechanism and response procedures when violence occurred, and the cooperation of multiple stakeholders in horizontal and vertical, as well as continuous monitoring and evaluation and research.

Starting from education to carry out gender violence prevention work requires long -term efforts, because its core is to change consciousness. It is because of the fundamental solution because of changing consciousness, so such efforts are worth it. Some research institutions predict that if the whole society acts and abandons the traditional harmful thinking about "what is a real man", then 69%of sexual violence and 40%of bullying and violence will be reduced each year. What is "male temperament" worthy of advocating? There are emotions, love, can open their hearts, treat others fairly, and say anything about violence -this is the male image of a new era worthy of pursuing, not the so -called "masculine qi" stereotypes. In 2020, as an annual commemorative event for the International Day of Women's Violence, UNESCO proposed a "transforming mentalities" initiative to call for the international community to mobilize men and boys to participate, becoming a promoting elimination of gender prejudice prejudice The active actor of gender discrimination shakes stereotypes and discourse systems about gender temperament, and transforms the mentality pattern of driving violent behavior.

Through encouragement and development of education, dialogue and discussions in schools, family, communities, and social media, challenge the concepts of Chen's stipulated types, and illuminate the blind zone with the light of education to realize the real consciousness transformation. This is worth every concern. In the next generation, people who care about personal life and social development are pursued.
