Violence is not just a punch, it is a strip that strips, it is a word that hurts, it is a locked door, it is a sick love that controls, humilia and island, it is a phone that vibrates with insults, a no that is not listened to. He is rape, a femicide, a father who kills his daughters, is a boyfriend who believes himself master, is a society that often looks elsewhere. Yet these girls, my girls just wanted to live, dream, dance, exist. I promise you that I will damage for you, I will make dance for you and scream your name until the world listen to me.
