Earlier this month, Lucía Pérez, a schoolgirl, was drugged, raped and tortured in the coastal city of Mar del Plata.
Via the Guardian: “The cruelty of her attack was such that Pérez suffered a cardiac arrest, according to prosecutor María Isabel Sánchez, who described it as “an act of inhuman sexual aggression”. Following their assault, the assailants washed the 16-year-old in an attempt to erase forensic evidence and took her to a nearby hospital, where she died shortly after arrival from internal injuries sustained during her rape.”
Today, women across Argentina marched to protest violence against women, including this horrific incident. No woman should ever have to experience this cruelty or lose her life just because she is female.
