March 8, 2011 - The weapon of rape Back of the leaflet will be distributed to the streets on 8 March in Turin.
Rome Quadraro neighborhood at night between 23 and 24 February ... S., 32, is detained in a police station: he has stolen two shirts in a department store, a daughter to support, no job, no money and minds the memory of the beating human with whom he had a relationship and with whom he had the strength to escape, trying to start over in another city far away.
is in a safe room, sleeping.
Three policemen and a traffic policeman to tear the cover off the lead in the lunchroom, keep them down, force her to drink and then raped her on a table: there are four others watch, someone to check.
S. denounces violence and is then accompanied to the clinic Casilino.
The three policemen involved are initially transferred to departments away from Rome, one in Turin, one in Cagliari, one in Milan, and the Alert is intended to another office, but a few days ago, were suspended per motivi disciplinari, in via precauzionale.
Questi i fatti.
Come da copione, orribile e purtroppo ripetuto, i tre militari e il vigile urbano hanno subito affermato che S. era consenziente, anzi, che l’unico rapporto sessuale sarebbe avvenuto in una situazione totalmente amichevole e per libera scelta…
Pretendono di farci credere che una giovane donna, in stato di fermo, in manette, a notte fonda, probabilmente spaventata, abbia potuto scegliere di aver rapporti sessuali su un tavolo.
Pretendono di farci credere che sia normale rientrare in caserma, anche se fuori servizio e solo per dormire, e abusare come un oggetto in its total availability of a woman's body in order to conclude an evening of drinking.
They are trying to make us believe that violence is one less severe than raping a defenseless woman in four.
They are trying to make us believe that their peers who watch less important that rape is rape .... A
violence committed while wearing a uniform does not make itself the most despicable, but somehow amplifies and conditions it even after it has occurred, since a uniform defines a role, that role of power, determines membership to a group that defends itself and its members, and more often authorizes and legitimates violence and impunity, the barracks of Cie Rome to Milan where she was raped Joy.
A uniformed man who returns to the barracks for the night is just like the husband who beats the four walls of the house, the nice guy that rapes her in a parking lot, which attacks the stranger on the street for all of them the woman is simply a thing to take an object available to you will recognize the word and then just to say "it was consensual ...
is always male violence against women and, in this case, you also state violence: the State would ensure security militarizing the city, the state that goes hunting for migrants, Roma, window cleaner, the State pursued le prostitute, lo Stato che ammazza nelle sue carceri è lo stesso Stato che stupra S., Joy e tante altre di cui non sapremo nulla perché contro lo Stato, soprattutto se povera o migrante o ladra è difficile andare e questo quei quattro in divisa lo sanno benissimo.
Sta a noi dire no. A noi donne.
Oggi vogliamo lanciare un no forte anche contro il modo in cui la violenza maschile contro le donne viene presentata dai giornali e dalla televisione: la causa è sempre da ricercarsi nel dato estremo, particolare, colpevole e infatti o si tratta di un raptus di follia, o di gelosia, o di eccesso di passione o, come in questo caso secondo il ministro La Russa, di poche mele marce che vanno subito allontanate, ma si tace il fatto che male violence against women is under daily, which knows no differences of territory, nationality, social class, age, political affiliation.

the headlines these days there is to shudder, as has become usual when it comes to rape, violence is because a second set with the words that those who suffered violence in their own flesh, as happened in S. Quadraro of the police station in Rome: S. was first described as a prostitute, then as a thief, then as psychologically fragile and finally, when you just do not know what to write, almost to justify the rape and to create a clear line of demarcation between those women who truly and that a little 'if I went to look for, as consenting, repeating the words of those who, in fact and not conjecture, abused her.
We would like also to dedicate this March 8 S., a day that should be mobilizing and struggle, not because a story of male violence against women is more serious or more heinous than others, but because each time, in any form and with any outfit, we recognize it as violence against each of us, no extraordinary event, but everyday life against which, as women, we will always be irreducible and indomitable.
Our security is our rebellion!
