Analysis

The so-called violations of rape "animate the aggressors" and, moreover, "the pack always follows the one who drives it, so that the rest of the group has less responsibilities.This is a way of" disempowerment " ", badyzed for the sociologist Silvia Chejter Telam.

In recent months, gang rapes have been published in Argentina against a 14-year-old girl at a campsite on the Atlantic coast, another of the same age in Las Lajitas, Salta, one of the 15-year-old at Villa Elisa, in the province. from Buenos Aires.

And there are other complaints of juvenile court proceedings in Buenos Aires and Justice Chubut.

Are group violations sporadic and a new reality? That was the question of the sociologist who squarely replied: "No way, according to empirical research and observations from health professionals, the frequency of collective violations is high." He said.

He added: "Before, they were called patotas or they were considered as collective, collective rapes.The concept of" manada "is imposed in recent years by the Spanish case.

It is the five men who called themselves "La Manada" and who, in 2016, during the feast of San Fermin, raped a young woman.

Chejter recalled "the collective rape on María Soledad Morales – murdered in Catamarca in 1990 – that it was consumed by a group of" good children ", children of officials and children. politicians."

"Many group violations are not named as such," he said.

In Bolivia, lawyer Jessica Echeverria told Telam that "we must be aware that rape in a group is more common than we think."

The professional is the lawyer of an 18-year-old girl who was raped in Santa Cruz de la Sierra last December by five men, a minor.

The four adult defendants are jailed pending trial and "there is a pact of silence between them," said the lawyer.

He added that "there is badual violence in groups, money, political contacts, drug use, rapists and their victims belong to economically well-off families."

He criticized the fact that "the identity of the girl has not been taken care of, some journalists have given their name, their address.The limit has been crossed.The journalism must take care women, "said Echeverría.

"The way he is investigated shows that justice is a machismo, that she rapes this girl again and again, that it is really very serious," said the professional.

In Ecuador, the photo is the same. Violations of the group "increase, as well as brutality.All cases are not visible because they are not all reported," said lawyer Ana Vera, of the NGO for the defense of human rights. Surkuna man, whom they attended "recently less, five victims of collective violations.In general, rapists are young and know the victim."
