She was a 25 year old lawyer in Ayacucho, Peru when her boyfriend attacked her in a hotel in July 2015. The security cameras captured everything. Him chasing her. Dragging her by the hair. Her screaming for help while hotel staff tried to intervene. The court watched the footage.
Then sentenced him to one year suspended for minor injuries. The more serious charges - dropped. She refused to accept it. She went public. Put her name and her face to everything. Took the fight to the media, to the courts, to the streets. On August 13 2016 half a million Peruvians marched through Lima. The largest demonstration in the history of Peru. Led by her.
The appeals court threw out the original verdict. He was retried. Convicted of attempted f3micide. Sentenced to 11 years in prison. She went on to become a member of Congress. Time named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world. Her name is Arlette Contreras. And she was just getting started.

For a long time, the narrative has been that getting pregnant 🤰 and keeping the baby 🤱 is trapping the man; but in reality it is the woman who is trapped.
A Nigerian teenager was thrown in prison at 14 years old and his name was changed by the police and prison officials so that his family will never find him.
He was only released 18 years later. Why is this story not trending? Jesus!
no shade it’s actually scary how many people think misogyny has to present itself as extreme hatred of women and violent rhetoric for them to consider it as such. casual misogyny is dangerous precisely because it often presents itself as normal, harmless, or “just a joke”
We simply MUST emancipate ourselves from the mental slavery that is tribalism.
Tribalism is an ungodly, wicked, and generationally divisive thing, and we have to cut it out like the cancer that it is.
We grew up watching who wants to be a millionaire, cowbell mathematics competition, spelling bee etc..
Now we’re stuck with BBN, peller and the likes and you can’t see the problem?
