I don’t know Eva Rodriguez, but I want to publicly thank her for making us feel that it was worth it. Her excellent journalistic work makes a huge difference to the lives of university women and to those of us who have responded to the demands for support from those who were experiencing sexual harassment.
In more than thirty years, there have been many nights of threats of death in the early hours of the morning, many competitions for university places where accomplices of the harassers suspended victims for having denounced, too many slanders spread by the networks and by the yellow journalism, very hard situations in which we saw that the persecution we suffered also affected family and friends.
Isolating gender violence is cruel to all people who are not unsupportive, even to the victims themselves, to whom we give the support they ask for. Reading, thinking and feeling over and over again every word of this journalist’s report brings back emotions and memories of situations that everyone has experienced, even those who have looked the other way so as not to find out, not to take risks, not to be bothered.
Science and society need journalists like Eva Rodríguez, with an intelligence and heart that allows them to want to delve into the profound improvements we have achieved with such altruistic actions that benefit even the daughters and granddaughters of harassers.
