The influencer and actress Cande Molfese She was a victim of sexual harassment on the street and as soon as she got home, still terrified of what she had been through, she decided to share the horrific experience with her Instagram followers and reflect deeply on the violence that threatens women in the public street and the indifference of passers-by towards these situations.
In her stories on the aforementioned social network, Cande detailed what the attack was like she suffered at 11:30 am as she walked calmly down Avenida Del Libertador on her way to the gym.
Molfese looked at the camera and began by saying: “I’ve just arrived at my little house and, companion in hand, I wanted to tell something that happened to me today and that didn’t go well at all”.
“I was on my way to the gym, 11.30 in the morning, more or less,” he continued to count. Luckily he didn’t come with anything in his hand, he only had a fanny pack, he was walking. Suddenly, a boy, more or less my age, comes up and touches my ass completelyHe grabs my ass hard. I was kind of close to the wall, so he pushes me against the wall, grabs my ass and runs away.”
“I ran aftershot like crazy,” Cande said. And immediately corrected himself: “No, not like crazy, like what I have to do, yelling ‘son of a bitch, son of a bitch’“
Cande Molfese: “Nobody helped me”
Between outraged and disappointed by the other’s indifference, Cande stressed: “No one in all (Avenida Del) Libertador helped me. At one point I stopped running, because I got bored, and I sat down and cried. Nothing happened, they didn’t do anything to me. Or if. But the anguish I felt—”.
Explaining that she texted because she “needed to put it into words,” she said: “Luckily I was going to the gym, which is my favorite unloading place in the world.”
After explaining the facts, Cande analyzed: “To me many things struck me. First, make sure no one from the neighborhood helped me with the lawsuit. In other words, nobody helped me. I understand that people are afraid. But, well, I want to trust that there are supportive people who would empathize. But that was clearly not the case.”
“Then, the impunity with which the chabón does it,” he continued listing. And to think that I have to console myself with the fact that ‘nothing happened’, that luckily it wasn’t night, that luckily I didn’t have my cell phone in my hand, that luckily it didn’t get bigger…”.
“This is what we women live with. It seems very heavy to me, the fear with which I go out on the street gives me a lot of anguish“, She said.
Total sincerity, he went on to express: “Then I began to wonder if I didn’t have a shoe that marked me a lot. See how far the person’s head reaches for the things that have happened to us? Because it can’t happen. I can wear whatever my asshole sings AND my asshole can be seen, indeed.”
“Sorry for messing up (sic), but it’s like I remember,” she said, indicating that she felt upset. In the end, Cande Molfese reflected: “MI thought we have to take care of ourselves because, unfortunately, even if we believe we are making progress and that there are things that improve, there is still a long way to go. There’s still a long way to go because these things keep happening, because you are walking down the street and they yell at you for any sweet potato“.
To close his presentation, he warned the women: “So, unfortunately, women, continue to take care of us, continue to accompany us,” he proposed. And she added: “And be careful, because it was 11:30 in the morning, very early. But nothing happens: people are very unpunished”.
