Yesterday I was able to accompany two of its Aleja defensorías . I wanted to come along very much, because Inés invited me in sistematización to come along in their Defensoría in Monte Chingolo. It is located in the zone in the southwestern city of Lanús in the quarter, rise to the leaders of the unemployed movement Darío Santillán and Maximiliano Kosteki, on 26 June 2002 massacre of sogenannaten Pueyrredón Bridge on the orders of President Duhalde were killed. State repression of the Duhalde government had their continuity with Menem. Duhalde, who was already at the beginning of the reign of Menem's Vice President, but then preferred the more influential post as governor of Buenos Aires, was notorious for the establishment of a repressive police apparatus in the Provincia Bonaerense . The violence of the police and their impunity I mentioned in some articles. This is one of the poorest areas the conurbano . After that I was able to in the next Defensoría come in the quarter-Wilde.
The Defensoría in Monte Chingolo works quite differently. She made already eight years ago and is one of the oldest. Inés was from the start, even if they did not participate in between. I keep hearing talk about her husband, qué beneficio tengo yo si te vas . There is a second husband or boyfriend, with whom they are together. She left her first very violent man and now lives much better. Nevertheless, it seems to me the machismo to be more strongly represented, but he is such a revealing Questions. This is not the man is, is useless. Aleja says that it is growing incredibly, is making progress. Her husband does not seem to grow with. Inés is the one that offers, together with Aleja talleres for women in the barrio . The Defensoría as it works in my group in Quilmes, existed only in the first three years as a group. Then the women went other ways. Aleja defended very strongly that this is not a bad sign, these women also grew, perhaps involved in other groups of study, they need the Defensoría not. This is a success. This can not and should not be measured quantitatively in the sense that many Women currently taking part in the Defensoría . Currently, this means that more and stop by a few, often different women Tuesday. Sometimes not. Inés is the only permanent member beside Aleja as coordinator. A pity it seems to me already that no new group is opened. A sense of group can still release all other forces, I think, in my experience in Quilmes. So also is more the attitude of reception, rather than be active protagonist. Aleja says that the zone is very particular. The women do not work for something larger. They are concerned with their individual problems. Often they do not feel able to still other to help.
came after a while two women who were not the first time there. Adriana has about two hours without a break, tells all her life story. A story that I certainly will not soon forget.
My first thought was that me, the violence of the film El Cielito suddenly catches up with real, actually even more pronounced than in the movie. Adriana told of a father, his wife chopped with an ax because they night not quick enough the door opened, and from numerous affairs of her husband, of holding women as working slaves, from the urge to have an abortion, because the man another child no longer served, the resistance against it; from schizophrenia of a son, whom she has sacrificed for four years without an election in order to save herself and her second son on the run from everlasting shock, from macho patronage of judges and police who protected despite four-fold display Adriana's husband.
violence can take many forms. In the story seemed to macho violence that brooks no opposition and men raises to prison guards autocratic. Violence against children who may be good for nothing else than to continue the evolutionary line. Once this was ensured by two boys who seemed each other useless. Power of the state institutions that hold the same macho man and patronage, as against you for business customer relations, run up the woman leave. Desperate violence that grows in the women themselves, to the purchase of a weapon and the firm determination to kill the man who was terrorizing of them again. Violence in a family that continues over several generations and causes serious diseases such as schizophrenia. The sister of the father had been schizophrenic. The hierarchies
talleres the violence spirals, the María conducted recently in the new Defensoría in Quilmes, do not come from nowhere. The second woman, who came on Tuesday to Defensoría and Adriana Story sounded, said that when she began to tell: I know a lot of that.
