Raped but not compensated

"The woman who claims to have been raped by Dani Alves has renounced before the judge to be financially compensated by the player if he is convicted," writes @pablom_m on his Twitter account.

"She resigns despite the fact that she would be fully entitled to it, because she knows that unfortunately she is the one who is under suspicion," she criticizes immediately.

The woman maintained her resignation even when the judge reminded her that, in the event of a conviction, she has the right to be financially compensated for the injuries and moral damages suffered.

However, the young woman stressed that her goal is "for justice to be done."

As if receiving money after being raped couldn't be fair in any case.

The woman who claims to have been raped by Dani Alves has renounced before the judge to be financially compensated by the player if he is convicted.

She resigns even though she would be entitled to it, because she knows that unfortunately she is the one who is under suspicion.

I am sure that if the same woman reported an automobile accident, she would not reject the corresponding compensation in case of suffering injuries.

So what makes rape justice different?

The answer has been and continues to be honor.

Because when a woman is raped she feels, even today, that her honor has been or will be questioned.

One she cannot collect money for having been raped, as this exchange would further undermine her honor.

Mithu M. Sanyal reminds us in his essay

Rape

(Reservoir Books) that “in Great Britain, rape was punishable by capital punishment until 1841, and in the United States until the 1970s. But only if the woman had 'possessed' an honor that could have been stolen;

unlike a whore who had lost it of her own free will or any of the various kinds of women—black, colonized, prostitutes, poor—who had no honor in the first place.”

Thus, the woman's honor has historically been a decisive fact in the trial of any case of rape.

So much so that even today it is common in rape cases for the victim, and not the accused, to be subjected to a public trial.

That explains the tweet that Bob Pop has written: "I read and hear centuries defending Dani Alves arguing that a guy like him (rich, young and famous) 'does not need to rape a woman', as if raping a woman It could be a justified need in some case.

AND I VOMIT."

A nausea that I am sure every victim of sexual abuse must feel when being aware that, if she decides to denounce, she will be judged.

I read and hear cenutrios defending Dani Alves arguing that a guy like him (rich, young and famous) "has no need to rape a woman", as if raping a woman could be a justified need in any case.

AND I VOMIT.

It is true that the rule of law protects the victims of rape, but the rule of law does not go to the University or to work or to the playground of the institute or to family meals.

For this reason, to think that a raped woman will not be a judged woman is to live outside the world.

And this is why it makes sense to give up compensation.

If giving up that money allows the victim to restore her honor, the economic loss makes sense.

Thus, thanks to her withdrawal, no one can say that the young woman who has denounced Dani Alves has done so "for money".

Although there are already those who claim on Twitter that she has done it "for fame".

The victim of Dani Alves renounces receiving compensation from the footballer if he ends up being found guilty.

We have reached the point that a woman raped by a celebrity is not going to be financially compensated, as she is her right, so that she does not say that she is doing it for money.

Some of the social judgment continues to fall on the victims and it's so hard that I'm sure most of them would be willing to pay out of pocket if they could escape judgment like this.

2,500 years ago, the noble Lucretia decided to commit suicide after being raped in ancient Rome.

It seemed to her that only in this way would she preserve her honor.

In 2023, the honor of a raped woman is not paid with her life, but it still has a price.
