A subject I enjoyed in school

Halloween
Today is a special date! Is Halloween! Time to use your better costume and scare the people.
Halloween is an annual celebration who actually consist principally in go out with a costume who scare and the kids ask for candies. But this date has a story, a beginning and are many options coming from different places in the world.  Today I will talk about the ''witch hunting''.  This phenomenon was characteristic of Europe and consisted of the massive chase of women accused of witches for the church and the ''civil justice''.
The witches were women who have control of natality, her sexuality, and knowledge about abortive methods and principally owner of her bodies.
In that epoch, the country has in a period of transition to capitalism, and for that, the industry needs a workforce and Europe passed for a diminution of the population because of the black plague. For that reason the witch hunting it was an excuse to suppress the women to the reproductive functions. And the women who were killed aren't witches, they were killed only for the reason of being women with the capacity of being actors of the civil society and considering the secondary and weak sex. The witch hunting was the reflection of the fear about the woman power.
Today we are not hunting (literally) like in that period of time and for that reason, we have to still fight for our rights and do honor to these women. -''Somos las nietas de las brujas que no pudiste quemar''- .
