The pack of two minors and two adults, four in total, who sexually assaulted the daughter of a minor friend of mine are not Moroccans, Algerians, Colombians or immigrants from any other state. They are Valencians, Spanish, with white skin, from “good families”, you know what I mean, with a house in Valencia and an apartment on the beach, and the prosecutor’s account of events describes how these “young people” acted like hyenas to rape the girl. after drugging her, to annul her will. I also believe that none of these “kids” have ancestors from another country or culture, and I can even almost affirm that among their group of friends they have all been born, have been raised and are residents in our beloved Valencian Community.
The gang that raped my friend’s daughter could have been made up of immigrants, of course, but that was not the case. Like many other packs that are also made up of Spaniards, because when it comes to attacking women there are no prototypes, stereotypes or inclined races or cultures, they are simply men who violate women because they hate them; That’s why it is “gender violence.” It is enough to see the data from the Public Prosecutor’s Office to understand that it is a serious mistake to attribute the increase in sexual crimes to immigration. It is a transversal problem, also between generations and between social classes. And it is already detected in children, as pointed out by the comments made by teenagers talking about their friends, or by girls, in their Whatsaap or Telegram groups.
This week, Vox representatives in Valencian institutions have declared that in “some cultures” there is machismo, and they are right, not only in “some” but “in all.” The representatives of Santiago Abascal’s party in Valencia said it to point towards immigration, which is a way of demonizing those who arrive in our country, in line with the ideology defended by his party, which attributes to unaccompanied minors -“menas “- the main cause of the increase in crimes in our cities. Are there immigrants who attack women? Of course. Are there Spaniards who attack women? Many more, in proportion. It is not a problem of race, culture or origin, it is an ancient, old, permanent problem, it is called machismo.
The pack that attacked my friend’s daughter is not an exceptional case and if we do not intervene in better formation of values ??in childhood and youth, the packs will continue to be news, much to our alarm. Specialists talk about many causes, from viewing pornography when they are children to poor sexual education. There are no perfect recipes, let’s be clear, but it is evident that “the entire” society must act. It is good news that the Valencian Vice President and Minister of Equality, Susana Camarero, intervenes in these cases with a broad and transversal vision, making it clear that only emotional and sexual education can prevent these children from repeating their terrible attitude.
The pack that raped my friend’s daughter has caused this girl to no longer be the same, despite being a fighter. She will spend her entire life working to overcome a terrible trauma. I know her and I know that she will win this battle, but many others may not. For this reason, it would be good for some to stop identifying groups with cultures or races, it is “our” problem and what we have to do is stop pointing fingers and work so that our boys and girls stop seeing women as pure sexual objects.
