Campaign held in Lavagem do Bonfim talks about sexual violence

The campaign aims to raise awareness, inform and teach victims about the different forms of sexual violence

The JusEsperança Institute will carry out one of the stages of the awareness campaign about the multiple forms of sexual violence against women next Thursday, the 16th.

In the action, field research will be carried out, through listening to women in the procession about situations in which these attacks affected them, in addition to explanations about the types of sexual violence against women, legal consequences, protection mechanisms and forms of access to rights guarantee services.

The initiative is coordinated by the lawyer, Human Rights activist and professor at the State University of Bahia, Prof. Dr.ª. Anhamoná Britowho also captains JusEsperança.

To anhamoneby asking women, with different identity markers and social engagements, whether they have experienced any situation of sexual violence, the intention is to encourage them to revisit their experiences, identifying in personal records elements of criminal abuse, often not noticed by the victims.

About choosing the campaign

Second anhamonethe campaign will also seek to contribute to greater personal and collective vigilance over the sexual violence that affects women on a daily basis, but which is gaining more volume and, at times, has its occurrences trivialized in major popular events, such as Lavagem do Bonfim:

“An estimated one million devotees travel in procession to the Sacred Hill every year. In this scenario, criminal occurrences explode as a reflection of a sexist society, causing the profession of faith to give way to violence, which may be seen as permissible in the party context, but which are not in the absence of consent from the woman and /or legal prohibitions, as some practices are not admissible under any circumstances, such as those in which violence is presumed due to the age of the victim, for example”, he explained.
