Eva Analía de Jesús, known as Higui, has been imprisoned since October for defending 10 men who tried to rape her and impale her for lesbian
EDITORIAL GAYLES.TV.- Today we celebrate the Winners will be announced in March, the day we dedicate to reflect on the situation and condition of women in society. Throughout the day the televisions, the radio, the headlines of the press, will reel off statistics and information on equalization of salaries, gender violence, inequalities in education, abuses, imbalance in opportunities, etc, etc ... We will regret, they will be saved minutes of silence, grandiose declarations, good intentions, bad conscience, impotence will be made. The dead, the raped, the oppressed, the exploited, the neglected, the abused, the insulted ask for concreteness, justice, they ask us for involvement, commitment. But we often tiptoe over issues that sour our breakfast from the headlines of the newspapers, a tiresome oppression of pure repetitive and it is not surprising because it has lasted for millennia!
That's why today instead of giving figures and statistics and making good intentions, we want to talk about the global from the concrete, refer the whole for the part and dedicate this space to Higui, a humble, lesbian woman, arrested for having defended the aggression of 10 males who tried to rape her and impale her, 10 bastards that left her lying on the floor, bloody and unconscious and that if they did not end her life was because, in self-defense , pricked who straddling his body intended to violate it, with the result of death for the aggressor. For that reason she remains imprisoned while awaiting trial, on it weighs the accusation of homicide.
The history of Higui is not bicoca: to its 42 years load with a long history of abuses and aggressions. Her stepfather systematically abused her between the 10 and the 13 years. Despite this, she spent some happy years in the Obligado neighborhood, in Buenos Aires, on the banks of the Reconquista River, where her manifest status as a lesbian never posed a problem. But the possibility arose of having his own house in the area of Mariló and there began their problems. They harassed her, insulted her on the street, once tried to stab her and went so far as to set her house on fire. So on Mother's Day, better known for Family Day, she decided to protect herself to go visit her family and keep a knife in her clothes that would save her life.
Rapes "to correct lesbianism" unfortunately they are no exception, but this one was especially bloody. They waited for her in an alley, some of the assailants were acquaintances and relatives and also had pending accounts with her: the former couple of one of them had maintained a relationship with Higui and the mother of another is a lesbian too, so his son avenged his rage over the girl. They knocked her down and started kicking her and hitting her while they said phrases like «You're a tortillera, you're a whore. I'm going to make you feel like a woman. We are going to impale you tortillera. » Eva Analia felt the kicks on her body and face, felt her pants and pants broken, felt the weight of one of those guys and did not hesitate, took the knife and gave a single point in the chest. No one was going to rape her. The rest of the group kept hitting her until she lost consciousness.
That was just the beginning of his ordeal. He remained for days without receiving medical attention in a dungeon after being laughed at in the police station saying: "Who is going to want to touch or abuse you if you are horrible?" Then the false testimonies would come, the neighbors who are silent for fear of reprisals and the overwhelming weight of a macho and patriarchal judicial apparatus that considers that self-defense does not apply to women and even less if they are lesbians.
Higui is in prison and her aggressors remain free, so today we wanted to dedicate this space, to demand justice for her and for the thousands of women who suffer simply because of that, because they are women.
