In view of the tragic week of sexist crimes, The new Minister of Equality, Ana Redondo, stated that “women report, but not everything they should report nor do their surroundings.” revictimize for what they do or don’t do?
But does anyone listen to them? They’ve been talking for years. Some, saying that the system saved them. And others that unless you have a report of serious injuries, They don’t believe you. Years of explaining the fear of his reaction, the economic dependencies, the learned helplessness, the cognitive distortion, being a migrant or in social exclusion, having a disability, which many do not report only to a partner but to a parent and they fear more for their sons or daughters than for themselves…
Years before the Ombudsman, as very recently when he highlighted “the situation of defenselessness before the Administration of Justice”, or by lawyers who “on some occasions do not know the legal tools well”, or “complaints about the behavior of the lawyers of the Administration of Justice and prosecutors, for not applying respectful treatment according to their situation of vulnerability, and for failing to their obligations, preventing them from suffering double victimization during the processing of judicial processes”.
Years of women who feel that everything is a labyrinth With aggressors acquitted. Dead-end streets because justice closes the door on them again and again. And they look for alternatives, such as a divorce to avoid criminal conflict, which then leaves them more defenseless in the custody processes.

I guess it’s easier to talk about them instead of mistakes that no one wants to acknowledge. One, in the system. It is not a “whatever”, it is that a high-risk VioGén is not a test, for which they have to search and investigate. Analyze quick judgments that are based on a single fact and not on the entire history of violence. Explain why There are courts that barely issue restraining orders. Justify why there are cases under investigation where the forensic team is only asked to report physical injuries… Do you want them to be saved? Offer prevention and a gender perspective in justice. Do you want them to report? Offer guarantees of protection, investigation and trials that do not take years. Come out with real solutions from the crisis committees and not with empty press conferences.
The basic problem is not whether they report. There are too many aggressors because There are too many sexists. And too much sexist complicity in society. The most demoralizing thing these days, I don’t know if it has been seeing those crimes or how these victims were used to confront the previous ministry again with this one, as if this were a fan club for one side or the other and as if the murders had only been this week and not all of this year. Less personalization and more content with solutions. Out of respect for the memory of the victims and out of respect for those who wake up every day seeing polarizations and partisan fights that are foreign to them, while they only think about how to survive. Act now.
