“It is the cross I have been given”: the resignation that perpetuates gender-based violence in old age

“This is the cross I have been given” or “marriage is a lottery and it is for life.” These phrases, still repeated today by older women, reflect one of the less visible realities of sexist violence: resignation and learned helplessness.
