La Manada

In this post, I'm going to talk with a serious tone, since a few days ago the trial against 'La Manada' ('The Herd') finished with a sentence that astonishes me and at the same time angers me a lot. 

These five monsters forced an indefensed girl in San Fermines (a traditional party which is held in Pamplona during the first week of July) in 2016, and the jury has decided to impose an absolutely benevolent sentence: nine years in prison for abuses, but they have been absolved of sexual assault. With these sentence, it seems to me that sexual violence has not been valued at any time in terms of humiliation and psychological sequels; and the fact that it was a multiple violation and that has not been condemned as a crime of sexual aggression of a totally intolerable permissiveness in the 21st century. The message that transmits the sentence is that it is only an abuse, but has not taken into account that the mere presence of five men with who want to abuse you or force you already causes an intimidating effect for the victim. 

To sum up, I think that the penal code should be reformed in order to value the rights of  the women, who deserve protection of those men whose last purpose is to hurt them to increase their pride and arrogance.
