I regret that in the XXI century and a few hours to commemorate the Day for the awareness and the eradication of violence against women and girls, these events occur. That is why I raise my voice, because today women must know that we are not alone.

The councilor assured that the insults in the chat were not only towards her but towards all the women who were in the forum.

What an irony… I was speaking in a forum about violence against women and several men started calling us whores and masturbating in front of the camera.
This is being a woman in Mexico.
