Debate over gender violence

By a barn, Rodríguez Veve, of Projecto Dignidad, object that is to be distinguished in the violence against the women in the affirmation that the “generalized violence” must be observed.
“Creo que nestro deber combatin violencia contra la mujer, pero también creo que es nuestro deber combati el hminco la violencia contra los hombrees, contra los niños, contra los jóvenes y ancianos. In the end, we believe that we must fight violence against everything, ”said Rodríguez Veve of repeating a series of murders in the past.
Rodríguez Veve recorded the solicitation of the governor’s entourage on November 30, declaring an emergence against “generalized violence”.
“No sex distinction or edad. What we can allow is that more deadly ones than other creatures create categories of their superior human beings and many less allow us to let the light against the violence make it a vehicle for the adjective of vehicles in the direction of objectivity ”, , who criticized the fact that in the exhibition of motives there are alliances with organizations.
‘No specific specification of the organizations and organizations is referred to. This resolution can not be a blank check for organizations and groups with ideological proposals that obstruct the struggle in the midst of marches that are actually effective in combating violence against women, ”he said.
Respond to Rivera Lassén
In summing up his turn, Rivera Lassén insisted on the necessity that, like the day, he was called “applauded” in violence.
“When it is not done, it does not recognize what is violence and does not identify the sources, its origin”, dijo. “We can not touch and say that all violence is equal and that there is one in particular that is committed to the women… only by the hecho of being women”.
Rivera Lassén recorded como, in front of the creation of the Ley 54 of Domestic Violence in 1989, the ten men had a card to open to violate his “because he was right”, he said. “I do not defend myself in favor of the women who are married, who consider the property of their relatives”, he said.
“And there is no way in which a powder can deceive that it has been violated by the martyr because it is said that the male owner has the right to his property”, says Rivera Lassén. “If you do not know how to appeal to violence, we do not recognize it”, insists.
“For that, it’s important to appeal. We live in a country where only by the right to be female, including the female transgender, some object, only by that possible violence. A violence related to what we construct as feminine and masculine ”.
María de Lourdes Santiago
The independent senator states that no one can deny that, on this day, the difference in sex from step to step in wage inequality will come at a time when the women have passed without the vote “because they are women”.
“Hasta los otros días, hasta 1976 … una mujer podia estar an frente de una genence, pero no podia ir solan al banco sin el permiso del marido porque podium ser administradora de la sociedad de banancies bienesiales”, dijo.
“The same thing happens with the various manifestations of the violence. There is violence that is expressed by those who victimize the potential victims by the one hecho to be female, because all his desalinations during decades and siglos he found his cause perverted in the sense that they have some varones from which they chromosomes the compelen ‘ actuar de viola formenta. Not with his leave, with the women ”, dijo.
“The death of female martyrs and miles of hereditary women”, insists.
Santiago Negrón points out that the discussion was about people who were superior, like Rodríguez Veve, and had a series of cases in which women were assigned to the island.
“There is gender violence and it is difficult to be female”, dijo.
Santiago said that the vote was in favor of the media, but said that the responsibility of the Legislature should be greater than that of an investigation or a petition to the Governor and an invitation to the Legislature to include legislative mechanisms to address the issue.
Migdalia González
The President of the Commission of the Asuntos de la Mujer states that miles of women are victims of gender violence this year in Puerto Rico.
There should be no problem for this AL to recognize that there is a problem of discrimination in the woman who is finalized with the assignment of the women ”, said González. “We can say no to our days and nights that we live in a violent country,” he said.
“A legislative body composed of a majority of 14 women is a more sensitive, empathetic body with the victims of gender violence,” he said.
