Much has been said in recent months about the importance of consent, especially following Luis Rubiales’ kiss to Jenni Hermoso during the Women’s World Cup celebration. In that sense, different public figures have wanted to raise their voices and denounce some of their own experiences related to this event.
This is also the case of Inma Cuesta. The actress is in full promotion of her new film with Luis Tosar, All the Names of God, which marks her return to the big screen after having become her mother three months ago. Coinciding with this premiere, Cuesta has given an interview to Cadena SER in which she reveals that she has been a victim of sexual assault at various times in her life.
The actress begins by alluding to the Rubiales case to relate her experiences. “Notice that with what has happened, with the kiss, that suddenly there has been a debate with which you realize what remains,” she assured. And she has also experienced scenes of harassment in the streets, like the one suffered by a reporter from Cuatro’s En boca de todos, in recent days.
“It has happened to me, they have touched my ass in the street, they have done things to me without permission, they have invaded my body without asking my permission in some way,” he confessed about some situations that he claims to be “aware” of currently. and not before. “I include myself too, I have been aware of things that I was not aware of before,” she told the SER microphones.
Inma Cuesta then launched a harsh assessment of the situations of insecurity that women, in particular, still experience today. “We normalize things like when we were teenagers and you came back from a party, letting your friend know that you’re okay, that you’ve gotten home safely. And I said, ‘Oh man, this isn’t normal,’ but we normalized it until suddenly you “You realize that it is not normal that we have to do that,” he noted.
“We have all learned and I believe that I, who have a daughter, hope that an increasingly better future awaits her and that we are together in this, that this is what it is about in the end. It is not a thing for us women, it is a thing of all, which makes us all better too,” Cuesta concluded with his story.
