the theatre director Jorge Omar Pacheco appeared hanged this Sunday afternoon in your theatre room, “The other shore”. He was 67 years old and his whereabouts were unknown since Saturday. On Friday he had been designated and escrachado by a group of female students for sexual abuse in the premises of Balvanera which then hypothesize, committed suicide. This news generated, from the media, questions and statements that are even dangerous for the feminist movement and the victims of sexual abuse. Why edge spoke with Andrea Mila, is part of a campaign by the prescription of sexual offences, survivor of sexual abuse in childhood and with an outcome like this story: his brother, who abused her for seven years, to be reported committed suicide . “I suffered abuse by my brother eight years older than me, they were from age 5 to 12, there was much time where I had amnesia and did not remember these situations. At 17, when I began to have sexual ties with others, flowered abuses in my mind. Years passed and I didn’t do anything, until I found out it was going to be a father,”account Andrea.Que has a son was, to the victim, an alert because I could do with that baby something similar to what she had done it to her. “There, at that time, he decided to trigger a complaint by these abuses. “Two years ago committed suicide and was, for me, a cold water baldazo”, recounts. Denounce in a patriarchal justice to make a complaint the victim have to go several times through what happened, tell about it over and over again in every office that is presented. The victim, thus, goes through a process called re-victimization and is that many fear that and process by which thousands of cases are not reported to justice.
A report on sexual violence in Latin America and the Caribbean, carried out by the World Health Organization, argues that only 5% of victims report the fact to the police.
“When one suffers an abuse is very difficult to differentiate who is the victim and who the aggressor.” “Sometimes we feel responsible for this violence, because it is linked to a speech that has the perverse and the system, which is to lay the blame to victims, as that actually you provocás them and that plays much against our psyche”, account Mila. suicide as? departure?
There is no one reason why a person makes the decision to end with his life but several, but that happened after a protest public that also became viral, at a certain point and from the media, lays blame the victims and put into debate this sensitive issue and complex. “After the suicide, everything had been accommodated in the moment that I decided to denounce, is desacomodó. “Let me feel that, well, more than I conociente level knew that wasn’t my responsibility, there was something from the feel that me to take responsibility for this Act”, says Andrea.
According to the statistics of the Judicial Branch of femicides during 2017, 39 253 cases ended in suicide of the murderer.
“When so hard to be recognized as a victim, the Act of suicide is making reverse all what has been achieved.” Again I’m not the victim, again I have to give explanations. It is like the action of a femicida. Men who kill their partners and then removed the life, are sinister. It is killing someone and then to put oneself in the place of the victim that it is not. It has to do with the perverse game and psychopath that have violent men”, he adds. The protest “the escrache banishes the silence imposed by the men of violence, threats and that generates a lot of noise”, indicates Mila and reinforces: “that power structure is broken and that untouchable person stops being what it was and to have that power I had. “Escraches them help to victims who still do not dare to report abuses, to do so”. “We have a judicial system that is patriarchal and stigmatizing. Us what we do is explain our situation of victims and criticize how trafficking topic justice, that le is not beneficial to power. Access to justice, take the notion of wanting to make an accusation, is all a giant process, because we know the answer, then many of us went through a previous process to denounce, knowing what we expose”details. The union makes the force several women members of the theatre La Otra Orilla unstable theater group performed a protest publicly against the author and theatre director. “Sect is over”, “a grocery store you’re going to have to put” and “You’re up to your hands,” shouted the women who harassed him from the sidewalk to Pacheco, who answered them with insults. Feminism grows nonstop around the world and particularly in our country. It is from this place of accompaniment and empowerment, that many victims who were silent on these issues, break it, to speak and dare to confront men who exerted some sort of violence on them. “When you escraches them are organized between partners, there is a bra. Them you believe and manifest themselves to helping you. Having no institutional justice, it is the way you can go repairing. “The protest not only is to expose a personal situation, but for the rest of the girls, be careful, we have to take care of us and will not go scot-free”, ends the specialist.
