Cyclist denounces motorcyclist harassment

The citizen Giuliani Cantor denounced that she was a victim of street harassment when she was on board her bicycle with yellow vest going to the Asunción waterfront to train. The woman has been cycling for four years for health reasons and it is the first time that she has experienced such a thing.

 

In a conversation with R800 AM, he explained that he was on Mexico Street and Av. Maris Lopez, on the afternoon of last Friday, when a motorcyclist went ahead and took advantage of him to disrespect him. “He gave me a spanking and he slit on a motorbike, when he left he turned around and smiled at me as if mocking what he did. He can have a mother, a daughter and friends, “he said.

 

The man aboard the bicycle had a helmet and reflective vest, but the vehicle did not have the sheet, so his identity is unknown. The woman regretted that the National Police does not comply with its work to prevent it from circulating without the respective documents.

 

He continued telling that he was terrified when he received the spanking, because, with the speed in which the motorcyclist was going, it was a very strong blow. “I never touched something similar; I sat crying in the street. Of course, nobody came to ask me what was wrong, nor did any driver decided to follow the person, “he lamented.

 

In this sense, he went on to say that, many times the citizenry is very indifferent to robberies that take place on public roads, whether a woman or a man is the victim. “Come as something normal or maybe they think ‘better not get into this’. People are very indifferent,” he criticized.

 

When she made her case known, she received numerous samples of support and advice, such as that she should be accompanied to train, for example. “They tell me not to go out alone, but I must have the freedom to leave. Many are very afraid of going out alone; we have to go out as for the war. Many girls even stopped pedaling because similar things happened to them. Our irresponsibility as women is that we often keep quiet, so I urge you not to shut up what is violence, “he said.

 

Lastly, the police in safety uniform clarified that in making his case known, he does not wish to sow fear or divisions, but rather to find a solution to the problem. “I do not enter into feminism or machismo. What you have to do is talk about these cases, so that society is not in different. I am sure that not everyone is like this man, “he said.
