Equador: cousin and friend raped young lesbian “to cure her”

Image courtesy of Sarah Ward

September 2020:

Two young men allegedly took advantage of a woman’s intoxication to rape her. The Prosecutor’s Office has filed charges against both of them. One of those implicated, Xavier, is the victim’s cousin, someone to whom she trusted her most intimate secrets since they were children. When they were in school, Lily (name protected) told him that she was a lesbian.

She had anxiety and was always down. She attempted suicide several times until, eight months after the rape, she told her parents and they reported him.

The lawyer Johanna Orbe took over the case and indicated that at first it was difficult for them to verify the facts because after so long a medical examinarion of the victim would not indicate any signs of rape.

However, in the defendants’ version, they affirmed that they did have sex with her and admitted that they knew of her sexual orientation. This evidence and the psychological examination of the victim were sufficient for the Prosecutor’s Office to file charges against the two individuals for the crime of rape, last Thursday.
(Translated)

Dos jóvenes habrían aprovechado el estado de embriaguez de una mujer para violarla. La Fiscalía formuló cargos en contra de ambos . Uno de los implicados, Xavier, es primo de la víctima. Alguien a quien ella confiaba sus más íntimos secretos desde que eran niños. Cuando estaban en el colegio, Lily (nombre protegido) le contó que era lesbiana.

Ella tenía ansiedad y siempre estaba decaída. Trató de atentar contra su vida por varias ocasiones hasta que, luego de ocho meses de que sucedió el hecho, les contó a sus padres y ellos lo denunciaron.

La abogada Johanna Orbe se hizo cargo del caso e indicó que al principio se les hizo difícil comprobar la materialidad del hecho porque luego de tanto tiempo no se podía comprobar mediante un examen médico si hubo violación, porque no existirían rasgos en las partes íntimas de la mujer afectada.

Sin embargo, en la versión de los acusados, ellos afirmaron que sí tuvieron relaciones sexuales con ella y admitieron que sabían de su orientación. Esta evidencia y el examen psicológico de la víctima fueron suficientes para que la Fiscalía formulara cargos en contra de los dos individuos por el delito de violación, el pasado jueves.

По словам девушки, узнав о том, что она гомосексуальна, все эти люди пытались «изгнать из неё джинна».

Девушка рассказала, что в 2018 году её дважды помещали в психиатрические стационары, где её избивали и пытали, знакомый родителей, навестивший её в клинике, ещё и читал при этом стихи из Корана, а отец насильно колол ей транквилизаторы, заклеивал рот, надевал наручники и заставлял спать. В апреле 2019 года девушка сбежала из России, в январе 2020 года подала заявление в полицию, а спустя месяц пожаловалась в Генпрокуратуру на бездействие полицейских.

Madagascar: mother has daughter’s lesbian partner charged under homophobic law to derail family rape charges

L2L Madagascar

Tuesday, March 10, a 33-year-old woman, Domoina, was placed under arrest in Antanimora prison, Antananarivo, for “corruption of a minor” against her 19-year-old girlfriend, Fyh, a law allowing imprisonment of “anyone who has committed a shameless or unnatural act with an individual of their sex, a minor under the age of 21”. Apparently, Domoina, nicknamed “Ken” on social networks, had decided to live her love with Fyh and to move in with her. The voluntary relationship was not to the liking of the mother, who complained.

“I was raped by my father and my grandfather aged 6 to 16,” said Fyh, who had two abortions as a result (also punishable by law). “I met Domoina and told her about my problems. I thought I would file a complaint against my father for rape, my grandfather having already died. My mother was scared and went after my girlfriend, who wanted to help me with this. I find it absurd that homosexuality is condemned so quickly when it is so difficult to file a rape complaint.” Proof, according to the young woman, of a two-tier justice system.
(Translated)

Mardi 10 mars, une femme de 33 ans, Domoina, a été mise sous mandat de dépôt à la prison d’Antanimora, à Antananarivo, pour « détournement de mineure » à l’encontre de sa petite amie de 19 ans, Fyh, une loi permettant d’emprisonner « quiconque aura commis un acte impudique ou contre-nature avec un individu de son sexe, mineur de moins de 21 ans ». Selon les intéressées, Domoina, surnommée « Ken » sur les réseaux sociaux, avait décidé de vivre son amour avec Fyh et d’emménager avec elle. Cette relation librement consentie n’a pas été du goût de la mère de cette dernière, qui a porté plainte.

« J’ai été violée par mon père et mon grand-père de 6 à 16 ans, confie Fyh, qui a subi deux avortements (punis par la loi). J’ai rencontré Domoina et je lui ai parlé de mes problèmes. Je pensais porter plainte contre mon père pour viol, mon grand-père étant décédé depuis. Ma mère a eu peur et s’en est prise à ma petite amie, qui voulait m’aider dans cette démarche. Je trouve aberrant qu’on condamne aussi vite l’homosexualité alors qu’il est si difficile de porter plainte pour viol. » Preuve, selon la jeune femme, d’une justice à deux vitesses.

“Qual o nome que vocês dão para quem bate em filha porque ela fica com menina? Eu estou fora de moda ou não se chama mais homofobia?”. Segundo Lara Inácio, seu pai a expulsou de casa quando soube que ela é lésbica, desde então a youtuber foi morar na casa da tia, onde aconteceu o crime.

After this, several unsuccessful attempts by the girl to escape were reported. In a message from one of her friends, she complained of beatings and tying.

Ранее Севгия призналась, что до сих пор боится своих родственников, потому что «они просто животные». Девушка рассказывала, что у нее пока нет понимания, как двигаться дальше. Она сообщала, что мать присылала ей голосовые сообщения с угрозами, обещая «много крови». Севгия считает, что это не фигура речи, потому что мать способна «пойти на крайние меры».

15 января подруга Севгии Полина рассказала, что девушку обманом увезли в Азербайджан, отобрав у нее документы, телефон и антидепрессанты. После этого сообщалось о нескольких неудачных попытках девушки сбежать. В сообщении одной из подруг она пожаловалась на побои и связывание. 17 января стало известно, что девушке удалось сбежать, однако детали побега не уточнялись.
