Feminicides: What is the story of the shirt worn by Rodolfo Cota?

Camila de la Fuente was surprised when they told him that the image he had designed to protest against gender violence in Mexico was used by Rodolfo Cota, goalkeeper of Leon.

The illustrator and journalist thanked that a public figure, such as a footballer, had the courage to manifest against this problem in Mexico and also take an image that was not even designed for use in a shirt.

“I was surprised by the news, I also talked to him later, he told me that the image had come to him through Twitter and that’s why he decided to print it and use it in the game, ”he commented on the logo that the goalkeeper saw after the match between León and Necaxa weekend.

“This image me I made it in protest to everything that was happening, it was not planned for any shirt, it was simply an image and Rodolfo willingly decided to use it as a shirt, ”he said.

Camila de la Fuente explained that this image went viral just in the week when Ingrid Escamilla’s feminicides and the Fatima girl, and for this reason highlighted the willingness to show it in a soccer game of the Liga MX.

“I think it’s very brave of you, because I think men also have to protest on this issue; men are also affected, they have mothers, they have daughters, girlfriends, sisters and friends, ”he said in an interview with Halftime.

The message he gave was very powerful, not only because of the image itself but the context of who made it to whom. ”

like the Liga MX understood that it was an expression about a social problem, De la Fuente ruled out that it was a political message or publicity, and stressed that “one day in the world of football talk about feminicide.”

For now he just dislikes that the signature of his drawing has been removed and makes it clear that his purpose is not to profit; if this happens, he commented that the profits would be given to aid foundations.

I am not marketing it, I would not be surprised if on the march (March 9) I see someone selling it but I am already in the process of registering to avoid a problem, ”said De la Fuente.
