1:21 pm
charges. those are the headlines on al-jazeera the stream is coming up next they are with us. ok and i'm really good here in the stream today fighting gender based violence we're going to tell well look at how playtest is in mexico are doing attention to
1:22 pm
rape and violence against women we want to hear your thoughts on this issue as always tweet us that a.j. stream or share your comments there are live you to chop. mexican feminists have been expressing their anger over recent allegations that mexico city police officers had raped 2 teenage girls in the past week protesters armed with glitter rallied at the city's security headquarters and other sites chanting they don't protect us they rape us earlier this month 4 policemen allegedly raped a 17 year old in a patrol car and in a separate incident a 16 year old said that a police officer wrote to her in a city. protesters and many on line feel that violence against women is not taken seriously by the state and that even security forces can commit crimes of little consequences mexico city mayor claudia initially called the anti-rape protests
1:23 pm
a provocation that led to massive criticism online and of viral hash tag demanding justice it's not a provocation syndrome has since apologized and met with women's groups to discuss how authorities can better their response to violence against women so what can be done to change attitudes towards gender based violence in mexico with us to talk about this in mexico city and our writer and activist in berkeley california. a human rights lawyer and journalist and gabrielle evergrey guests head of the women secretariat of mexico city she will be speaking to us today with the help of any terror participant maybe just a tiny little delay but i know you will bear with us for that ladies it is good to have you here i am just thinking his cell or this is not the 1st time you've been on the stream this is not the 1st time we talk about gender based violence in mexico it is a major problem what happened with these latest protesters it seemed like everything just bubbled up how did you view it how do you see it. i
1:24 pm
don't think everything just bubbled out of nowhere i actually. a lot of american feminism's and mexican feminism's have been organizing for more than 10 years to lead to this point to lead to this point of rage and invisibility station and feeling of being in the civilized and marginalized by the government so we started probably in 2012 we had mexican arab spring along with the student movement we had elections and since then there's been several hashtags i can remember off the top of my head for it or 5 where we denounce gender based violence we denounce harassment even before and i want to speak about this later he too is not her car and i'm and over time we just feel that when you have a system where crimes are not being investigated then punitive is so big and then the other hand the media is just amplifying the government's voice without
1:25 pm
investigating themselves then we're just caught between a crossroads where our voices are not heard the feminist voices are not hurt and women are still being killed raped murder and mistreated by. deciding in general so i think this is not the 1st time but you're not the only one who thinks that his that we've got a video coming from and i barbosa she's a student of literature and she also says that this is been simmering for a while now she sent us a video comment have a listen to it tomorrow i will direct this to you i think it's important to keep in mind that this didn't come from nowhere this women aren't angry and demanding justice only because one girl was raped by 4 policemen. they are protesting because between 20142008 the middle east 8904 women were brutally murdered in mexico and nobody did nothing about it in the 1st 4 months of 20191199 mexican women and white killed only because they were women
1:26 pm
and more than 100 of them were children this woman are demanding justice and want to be heard because no one heard them until now about or you can hear the passion in her voice she's angry and rightfully so she mentions the protests you were there you were at the protest talked to us about what happened there well 1st i would like to clarify it did the mayor hasn't apologized she said she was going to do that but she hasn't she said something about it like i was misunderstood no we don't agree so we're still waiting for that apology because somehow she is implicitly. saying that we are the better ones they're the ones who were at the demonstration and well yeah being there it was outburst
1:27 pm
or of our anger in our fear the fear that we face every day when we are out there in the streets all are whole because this film is sites are happening outside and home too. so it was really really powerful being there in the. we're seeing these women destroy everything it was a way to communicate the way we feel in we are really angry because they said it was violent and we think it was not because no one was hurt like really hurt it was just material stuff. broken windows in refugees and that was it. i mean it was nothing compared with what we're leaving and what we're facing everyday camera let me just bring you into the conversation because you're looking at these scenes and you are in mexico city you saw this play out with the
1:28 pm
protesters what was your reaction when you saw this one point it was the reaction of the secretariat for women when they saw this action. meet up with something obviously. we're talking about this for my pleasure the history i'm a feminist i'm an activist and i've been show for over 40 years when my colleagues go out into the street to denounce the violence. you're really in the eye you see myself immediately when i identify myself or them because i did that are 1000 times my own head of government the mayor of mexico city went out into the street a 1000 times when dealing with the many years and in the case particularly of gender violence what is very regrettable down and you said it very clearly isn't that we're not understanding each other and we have to begin by recognizing that
1:29 pm
the language because on the one hand of ny i'm very optimistic with the new generation because that there's a new corps these are new language there is so they're being much more visible than what women in the past and other types of what we did that we went out to the streets in the sixty's it was a different time and show. we're not communicating we're not understanding each other and we have to start by acknowledging that because the mayor of mexico city cloudier same boehm when she invited me to be at the helm of this ship ministry in december last year when the instruction the mandate was number one issue is violence against women and we will do whatever we can do the most important resources will have to be invested in eradicating violence against women and we
1:30 pm
have a lot of activities and if we have a plenty of time we can talk about what their we've done from december 10th date. one of the. brought up. by the protesters was what really appreciative of the way that command reacted to approach to demonstrate to beat out there in the street and to be pretty about how angry very all right now. the gender based violence situation in mexico i know you talked about this is your your personal investment in feminism and where you come from but what do you make of the mayor's reaction because that was up setting for the protestors for sure. foresters me poor dog that is why i was trying to say we have to be more open to a new language and to a new form of dealing with things and it is very creative but don't we have that to
1:31 pm
hear them better and we have to start off on the basis of that recognition throughout latin america and i will talk about 2 new symbols. the green bandana that has been very important because we see ourselves or we identify ourselves everyone in mexico city in this new one that was a pink glitter it was western which obviously when you see the pink glitter it is not an aggression it is a symbol a symbol of a protester and it is a very creative a very interesting. that is new. and yes. we have to come closer we have to understand them better because one thing i can say is that deep down the young women that came out to the streets and those of us who are in government. we are equally disturbed or concerned more than
1:32 pm
worried because we are occupied we're dealing with that issue with many strategies and it would seem that they were not fighting quite the same thing and it is a huge it is serious problem in communication intergenerational communication this is the way i see it because it said their colleagues here in mexico city the city where i live where i have a daughter i have 2 granddaughters 2 young granddaughters and we are women living in the city and we have anger because of that gender based violence that not cheese mo that you fight everywhere in school at home thinking. in public institution with the police of course and without her says it is institutional violence it was like to come through actually has. and they're both our colleagues at those schools the demonstrators and we are fighting for the same and it would seem it would give the impression that we have opposing positions his. yeah i mean i have
1:33 pm
a lot of comments 1st of all while i agree that the most appropriate the most appropriate reaction was not to say that it was a pro-creation to who think maybe it's credit she has not use 9 public force of the police to repress the protests have been fact checking i've been doing fact checking exercise for the past week and i haven't seen that and that is a huge change from the past administration who are we had a cop and really problematic cop that was engaged in a lot of human rights abuses with protesters because of their oppression of protests and that has been documented as is the december 1st of 2012 so i'm not going to get into that just to her credit she has not used the public forced to do that and she has tried to engage in dialogue it's not perfect no minister very angry of course but let's give her that and then secondly here i do think and i
1:34 pm
have written a lot about this at the burning down of material public stuff which is very different from burning or breaking private stuff. brining or breaking public stuff public. patrol car or at the door of the building i believe for my analysis that is protected by the human rights for about expression and it should not be a crime and it should not be prosecuted this symbolises and then the power that i saw when i saw these girls if the doors of justice were open we would have no need they would have no need to break down the door it's that simple and politics is a struggle of symbols so within those symbols i think this these protests that see that and they where for me i was really really proud that we're seeing this now the real question is what are we going to do at the public policy level because one thing is being enraged about it and then the other thing is actually addressing
1:35 pm
this huge issue that. amanda said it's just inside and out of our homes and it's just like here as in our boys and in our community that it's just everywhere you look i get cat called just by jogging on the street and i stopped talking on the street i was carried out of walking alone at night because i don't know what's going to come in and that's just and i want to get started on online gendered violence for speaking up like i've been getting so many trolls just for tweeting about the protest right and so many we call them with a hash tag so many matches but it is just late punishing me for speaking up because i loved it and i'm so glad that you brought that up really widening this conversation because that is what people online are doing as well so i want to show this from. a former stream gas she says mexico city has its 1st female mayor but nothing has changed for city's the city's female residents from a side rape kidnapping street harassment our daily realities until government and
1:36 pm
media care more about women's lives than monuments the protests will surely continue and it's one point in particular that she mentions there that i want to pick up on because someone else in our community spoke about this and that is the media so this is sophie about a both a she's an illustrator and she talks about what she sees as the problem have a listen one of the most important t.v. chains on the country is spreading all sorts of thinking you know some of the movement there is printing very sensitive information i hope the victims when they shouldn't do that and they actually manage to send a. thank footage of all of what really happened and they're trying to me to make us look up to make us look like. i know that there is nothing confirmed yet but they're basically saying that the victims are lying there's a lot of misinformation of what we're trying to do ourselves is to actually tell the people what's going on. so it's about her bigger point is the media in general
1:37 pm
feeling like they are playing into victim blaming what do you say about absolutely they're being really irresponsible because it's really sad but famous sites and rapes and this kind of violence is no longer. lines worth it because no news in the morning because we have 9 to 10 sites every day is so they're helping. him get online. through set in. you have example because they're activists who actually analyze the data from several media organizations and evidence. exactly. the times that the words like. because they did there was a. bus station destroyed mr wallace or glass or
1:38 pm
door or graffiti or monuments there's times they used the words we were higher then but i. can i just illustrate that because it's a perfect illustration as an organization called data paul that visualizes information the data that happened in mexico to help tell the story is better so here at the bottom we have the dates of. these the dates of various protests happening at this high line here this red light up here what are the media talking about whether talking about the metro bus tomorrow i was mentioning they talk about the graffiti they talk about a lot so different perhaps trivial details about these protests and where do you think they're actually talking about gender based violence how many of those publications are doing that right down here at the bottom that would seem to say maybe there's a certain element of going for the shiny objects excuse the pun here for the
1:39 pm
glitter and not going for the call or the color of the debate. but the protests a day get the attention of the mare this is the mayor here a day after the attorney general's office was attacked she actually made a statement i'm going to give you a little clip of that statement because the mess is that we are going to do something we are doing something have a listen to. some of the only could be a lot of good didn't i will weather this when you look better gather will know a lot more create is what got you in the news. you get the numbers we do here this is. really cool for me but i would get a lot of good as we did most of your lives it just have been that have been sleep most circles tell you that another friend said guess. what it's whatever comes creators expect us to face what as individuals 11 creators get out there's a lot of your c.v. but assume that it's for dishes and then they start thank you god but he actually
1:40 pm
knows that but even so you're not there. they live your lives here but i simply let you go in may he call in this person was able to listen creates what we call progress. gabrielle a bearing in mind the major issue of gender based violence in mexico how do you make it the most secure space for women how is that possible what he's saying right now. you know. the point that we started working on cindy's december. myside said that me in the city every month that we have 2 or 3 family sides mrs which is a rate that in 6 months is says stagnant it is slightly lower than that of last year but it is a true lease thank nation so the entire work on feminist science has concentrated on detecting risks and therefore it is very important to take
1:41 pm
a look at the 2 strategies mentioned now by the mayor of mexico city we place the prosecutor's agencies a lawyer and attorney that is and lex brigden gender perspectives she hears other cases of women every woman that arrives in different places in the city we have 79 agencies she receives other complaints and she listens to these women and besides hearing that besides empathy she has to detect whether there is a familiar sight violence and that is let's say. that it has skill it's a very fine skill in order to identify that it was that me and so we also have a group of protection measures for that person so. we've devoted many of the 1st months in detecting feminist science and avoiding the. assassinations killing of women that is the number one priority that
1:42 pm
we have and it's not the only one because lawyers these women attorneys are receiving these cases of rapes for example on the other cases and what they do is help us so that the binder of complaint will be with all that is prepared so we follow the woman we supported until they complain is filed so that we can respect whatever she said and so that the final will. what she is to deny what she is saying in our complaint. is i like to. wear the security that we are offering in gold these prosecutors offices in the city will provide psychological legal help but so important to women it's intuitions of. tomorrow as a rule should like to say to just hold tight moment tomorrow i would like it's lask where was these women attorney when the girl who was raped by 2 cops went to the
1:43 pm
police station to report this and she didn't get the proper help the protocols weren't full oath and carry personal information leaked so these this is yeah it sounds great on paper but in reality. it is pretty much the same because all the people involved in this justice system is the system itself is extremely misogynistic so this is a great example of how it is not working i mean it you have to hurt but you also have to be more self critical about this measurement and about these methods and strategies you're. divorcing. well the one test can i answer. from them that
1:44 pm
this was. ready leaked to me and that was a huge problem there no doubt the fire the names of the victims were leaked 2 days later she had already filed to the statement until days later that was leaked and that is a crime that is being prosecuted and i hope that should the attorney's office was sanction the person that leaked the information because the girl in was. by physicians and next by a psychologist this is psychological study with specialists from when we take care of cases of rape. our attorney ordered the mother gave to the mother because. the mother is also judicially emotional. and the problem the most serious problem and we are where we are because of that leak and i hope that one of
1:45 pm
