Palencia, Jun (EFE) the new government left the polls on July 23 to recover the term rape.
“Rape means non-consent. There is no need to add the term consent. Rape is non-consent”, Blanca Estrella Ruiz stated this Monday at a press conference in Palencia, where a balance was made of the work of the Clara Campoamor Association in its three decades of activity in Castilla y León in charge of the lawyers Luis Antonio Calvo and Margarita Calle.
it’s rape
“We women want to recover the term rape,” said Ruiz, who has insisted that it should be the victims who should “set the lines and the policy” and that “the victims say they are raped,” so it is not it can change the language and harm the victims by talking about assault or sexual abuse when “the crime is rape”.
She has also referred to the ‘only yes is yes’ Law and has affirmed that a single rapist who is on the street because of the law is enough to “reproach and repudiate her”.
rapists on the loose
“The victims are fatal because they have gone through an ordeal to be sentenced and now they are on the street and in some cases they are neighbors and they are terrified,” he added.
“That is what the law of only if is yes has done and that is a sufficient reason for any feminist not to read it,” he argued.
Along the same lines, the president of the Association has continued to explain that the “no is no” that was achieved with the Government of Felipe González was a “success of feminism from the underground” and that she does not understand why now it is necessary to be “more feminist than feminists” and have changed it to “yes yes”.
“They have slipped in. And whoever says that she supports that law because she is a feminist has slipped in. It can never be feminist for a rapist to walk on the street and for no one to listen to the raped woman,” she insisted, recalling that there are 900 pending cases that are going to take to the streets and 900 victims “who are going to have on the sidewalk in front her rapist as well as other women who are not yet victims and are going to be”.
appeal to victims
In addition, she has appealed to the victims and their families to contact the association if they have reported a rape and in the end they have murdered her because they are going to ask for the responsibility of the State “because nothing works when women report and then they are murdered”.
“The moment a complaint is made, it is necessary to investigate and continue even if the victim does not want to,” added the lawyers Luis Antonio Calvo and Margarita Calle.
“It cannot be that someone who has denounced ends up murdered. That is a huge failure of the system and of society”, the three have insisted. EFE
