The video from the program La Cáscara, shows a woman in a state of drunkenness who is mocked by an animator, who uses a controversial phrase that according to tweeters, and women's organizations, incites rape. "If we want a better Panama, let's start by respecting ourselves," said Eskilden in his Twitter account. He urged the media in general to highlight the positive of the carnival, and the disrespect for women “with acts like those circulating in social networks” The group “Tener Ovarios “(Having Ovaries), has been one of the most active in responding on Twitter "In Panama, during 2019, 6,883 sexual crimes were reported. Far from promoting consent in sexual relations, the garbage media insist on producing and publishing sexist content that incites rape culture," says one of its tweets https://www.newsroompanama.com/news/disrespect-for-women-video-slapped-down-by-panama-tourism-chief-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
