During COVID, both Panama and Peru instituted a policy where men could only go outside every other day, with women allowed to go out on the alternating days. This had nothing to do with male violence against women and girls, just an easy fair way to split the population in half and make it so that in many/most households, an adult would be able to go out each day in case the household needed something.
It proved to be a very popular policy among women, many of whom said that they hadn't realized how safe they would feel in such circumstances and how pleasant it was to go about their business with a significant element of the threat and hassle they experienced daily simply removed. The situation had become so normalized and accepted that it was just a fact of life, until their governments accidentally showed them that another way IS possible.
Many people here are sure that the idea of restraints outside the house on men who would kill women should be dismissed and maybe ridiculed because.... I guess in the UK, most femicides occur inside the house AND are carried out by someone the victim knows? This is just ridiculously odd to me. A man who will kill a woman will do it where and when he can, so yeah of course if he's an intimate he might do it inside the house - but that same man may attack the same woman outside of the house. From the WOMAN's perspective - the VICTIM's perspective - that just increases her odds of being targeted.
The chances of being attacked outside are still materially greater - you have to evade the same guy that attacks you inside thinking he covers his tracks better outside, plus all the other guys who may attack you. I don't understand how there is a bigger risk INSIDE THAN OUTSIDE* in the UK versus every other country in the world. It just seems like a way to shut down people talking about VAWG by dividing the instances of VAWG up in a weird and unsubstantiated way.
FWIW, I was in Mexico City protesting VAWG, and systematic and normalized WAWG by men, in the spring of 2021 just after the killing of Sarah Everard. I met a load of British feminists who said they finally understood how women in Mexico and other places in Latin America feel being targeted all the time, inside and outside "the home". I'm really sorry to see people here being absolutely fucking awful about this; that is not the UK I know from living there (I left in 2016) or from what the British women I met told me.
