Escarnio de una denunciante
Jan. 25, 2025

  • The public questioning of actress Elisa Mouliaá in a case of sexual assault could discourage future victims from filing complaints.
  • The lack of empathy and harmful stereotypes perpetuated by the judge during the interrogation are alarming.
  • The judge's performance underscores the need for justice to deal with cases of sexual violence with a gender perspective and guarantee comprehensive protection for those affected.
  • In 10% of the gender violence cases reported in 2023, the victim decided not to testify.
  • Sexual violence continues to be a fallout of structural machismo in society.

Conclusion: It is essential that measures are taken to ensure that justice is served in sexual assault cases, and that victims feel safe and supported throughout the judicial process.
