Project Title

Strengthening Prevention of Gender Based Violence in Rwanda

Country

Rwanda

The Programme

The DFID-funded Indashyikirwa programme is a community-level Gender based Violence (GBV) prevention programme that is being implemented in 14 sectors across seven districts of Rwanda, from 2015 to 2019. It is being implemented by CARE International and partners Rwandan Men's Resource Centre (RWAMREC) and Rwanda Women's Network (RWN).

The programme consists of a package of interventions designed to work at an individual, family and community level to shift attitudes, practices and social norms that perpetuate gender inequality and GBV. The interventions will include:

Dialogue and awareness raising on gender and GBV with the members of Village Savings and Loans Association (VSLA) through GBV 'peer educators' elected within VSLA groups;

Implementation of a gender transformative curriculum called "Journeys of Transformation +" with couples and further outreach to other couples and families through establishing 'Gender Clubs' at sector level; and

Training of community activists using the SASA! Approach developed in Uganda, which aims to bring about wider change at a community level;

The programme builds on a previous promising programme ISARO, implemented by the same NGO partners in Rwanda's Southern Province.

Research and how it will benefit the field of prevention

The What Works consortium is conducting an impact evaluation and operations research on the CARE International 'Indashyikirwa' programme over a four-year period to collect evidence on what works to prevent violence against women and girls in Rwanda, and why these interventions are successful. The impact evaluation is examining the impact of interventions on addressing key risk factors for GBV as well as the prevalence of GBV. The operations research will include qualitative research and is tracking the project's implementation, to understand how interventions work in different contexts, and to assess whether and why interventions are influencing change. It is also assessing how the project can be implemented in successful ways that provide value for money.

Period poverty is among other challenges that are impeding girls from accessing education

Students are coached on how to invest in small income-generating activities

When 15-year-old Zainab Uwamahoro joined high school, she not only encountered changes with her academics, but her personal life as well. She realised that her transformation into a young woman had come with disguised challenges; whereas her requirements before as a young girl were mostly academic essentials, she now required more, such as monthly sanitary pads for her menstrual cycle.

This was not easy seeing that her parents could barely afford most necessities. And because of this, she would at times miss school, she says.

She mentions challenges faced by young girls, observing that she is just a single case among many facing the same issue.

"A number of girls drop out of school because of this. We still face a number of challenges, some girls skip school because of period poverty, others do because of teen pregnancies, among other challenges," she says.

It is on this note that she applauds the 'Safe Schools for Girls' initiative, noting that ever since it was integrated at their school - GS Hanika, Nyanza District in Southern Province, a lot has transformed for the better.

The initiative is an integrated multi component education programme that provides a set of life skills on financial literacy, leadership and adolescent sexual reproductive health. It is implemented by CARE Rwanda, a non-government organisation that aims at saving lives, defeating poverty and achieving social justice.

Through this project, Uwamahoro says that they have been able to access comprehensive sexuality education and have been taught how to make local sanitary pads.

"We are learning a lot and the trainings are boosting our confidence, this I believe is going to address issues such as teen pregnancies and cases of school drop outs," she says.

Sam Kalinda, the project's manager, says that with this plan, the aim is to build capabilities of marginalised adolescent girls and boys by supporting them in their pursuit of opportunities.

"We want to aid them in realising their aspirations, improve their low-agency and also foster an enabling school environment, and to provide responses to social-economic challenges girls face when they are at or out of school," he says.

Since its inception in 2016, the programme has benefited over 82,913 adolescents (including 43,639 girls and 39,274 boys) in 174 lower secondary schools in five districts (Muhanga, Kamonyi, Ruhango,Nyanza and Huye), Southern Province of Rwanda.

Since this is an education programme, Kalinda reveals that they have tracked education outcomes, particularly schools' performance and found that, 10,007 boys and 7,551 girls transitioned to upper secondary last year (2019), and there was a reduced dropout rate from 3% in 2018 to 1% in 2019 for all project participants.
A better learning environment
The programme has a 'school score card' component that brings together students, teachers and school leaders to assess the level of empowerment for girls to voice concerns, identifying potential solutions and engaging school management to address issues such as sexual harassment, sexual and gender-based violence prevention.

Elizabeth Niyirora, a mentor at GS Hanika Nyanza, says this is a platform for adolescent-led advocacy, enabling them to influence decision makers towards a policy direction that helps to retain girls and boys in school.

She also says it fosters accountability among decision makers, local officials, parents and students towards good governance that creates a better environment for learning.
Increased self-reliance
And as a way of guiding students for self-reliance, the programme is encouraging a savings culture. This is being done through formation of students' savings and loans groups.

Kalinda explains that with it, students access an avenue to build and practice financial skills such as saving, budgeting, and entrepreneurship.

Thereafter, students are coached on how to invest in small income-generating activities, taking care not to divert their attention from education. The income generated is used to help girls to take care of their immediate needs, such as school and hygiene materials, hence, enabling them to stay in school, he says.

He adds that these groups are perceived as particularly successful in making boys and girls aspire to a vision of increased self-reliance and economic empowerment. This is seen as a shift from a 'day by day' mind-set, in which boys and girls consume the little money they have on sweets and doughnuts, to a more 'future oriented' one - in which consistent saving of little money becomes the path to follow in order to reach their goal of financial security.

"Participants who have started saving are proud of being able to buy school materials, clothes, shoes, pads for girls without having to seek support from their parents. This makes them feel safer in their education to acquire more value in their families and communities."

In the state of Chihuahua in Mexico was murdered at the doors of the government house,  Marisela Escobedo, a social activism from 2008 until 2010 that fought for the imprisonment of the killer of her daughter, Rubí. She became one of the most important and known  activism of feminism and also the first and only one who did a feminism protest in front of the government house for many days.  She also looked for the killer of her daughter around all the country only by herself, the rest of her children and some friends.
After her death, the whole country was devastated and now she is one of the most important members of the history of feminism in Mexico, where are brutally killed 4 woman per day.

There is a documentary in Netflix about her life, her suffering, her fight, her strength  and her family, called “Las tres muertes de Marisela Escobedo”

Also, at the end of the movie appears this magnificent song, written in 2020 because of the amount of murders of woman that weren’t seen because of the pandemic situation called “Canción sin miedo”. I will like to share to you because I think is an amazing song that invites everyone to think about this movement and this revolution that is happening right now that won’t stop.

There are many versions of the song from many different countries, but I’m gonna put the Mexican one, the original.

In india and around the world, women are the first victimns of hunger because the social organization puts men in the spotlight, women have a double workload compared to men.
Juana Cuadrado

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Gracias a mujeres como Kavita estamos rompiendo las barreras de género y reduciendo el hambre mediante la capacitación y el acompañamiento de mujeres en todo el mundo.En India y en todo el mundo, las mujeres son las primeras víctimas de hambre porque la organización social pone a los hombres en el centro de atención, las mujeres tienen una carga de trabajo doble en comparación con la de los hombres. Trabajan en los campos, cuidan el ganado y hacen todas las tareas del hogar, como cuidar a los niños, cocinar la casa mientras los hombres solo cuidan el campo. En algunos casos, incluso deben esperar hasta que hayan alimentado a toda la familia antes de poder comer por turnos.

La condición de la mujer también pasa por su estado desde el punto de vista cultural, cuando se habla de la menstruación y no puede tocar nada: personas o alimentos ya que esto se consideraría impuro.

Kavita, de 28 años, trabaja para Acción contra el Hambre como voluntaria comunitaria en Dharni desde febrero de 2012. Pero no siempre ha querido trabajar en el sector humanitario. "Cuando era niña, no pensaba en trabajar, solo pensaba en formar una familia", dice. Pero cuando creció, después de terminar la escuela, Kavita tenía tiempo libre y fue cuando se puso en contacto con nuestra ONG.

SEGUIMIENTO DE LA DESNUTRICIÓN

"Se estaba llevando a cabo una investigación en mi área y Acción contra el Hambre necesitaba que alguien asumiera el papel de voluntario comunitario en salud y nutrición. Vinieron a mi casa y me preguntaron si me gustaría trabajar para ellos, les dije que sí. Desde entonces, he estado trabajando aquí y nunca pensé en ir a otro lado."

Cuando comenzó a trabajar en su pueblo, se dio cuenta de la importancia del programa de nutrición: "Vi que los niños desnutridos que fueron tratados recuperaron fuerzas hasta que estuvieron sanos". A lo largo del proceso, hemos construido relaciones con las familias y con los padres de los niños".

Cuando comenzamos este trabajo, no teníamos conocimiento sobre este tema, pero fuimos capacitados por la organización, transmitimos nuestro conocimiento a las familias que lo difusieron a su vez. Darme cuenta de que estoy haciendo un buen trabajo y que es importante que continúe haciendo me ha dado mucha motivación, por eso siempre estoy allí ", explica cuando se le pregunta las razones de su compromiso.

LUCHA POR LA IGUALDAD

Kavita piensa que el papel de la mujer en su comunidad es muy difícil: "Las mujeres trabajan mucho, mucho más que los hombres. Trabajan en los campos y también hacen las tareas del hogar, mientras que los hombres trabajan solo en los campos. Las mujeres se levantan por la mañana, tienen que ir a buscar agua, cuidar el ganado, etc. Si la dama es bella, primero servirá y alimentará a toda la familia y luego comerá ", dice Kavita.

"EN EL MUNDO EN EL QUE VIVIMOS, LAS MUJERES DEBERÍAN TENER LA LIBERTAD DE DECIDIR LO QUE QUIEREN HACER"

Además, el problema del género en la sociedad está muy arraigado, incluso en términos de higiene y saneamiento. "En nuestra comunidad, cuando las mujeres tienen su período, tienen que salir de casa durante 5 días. No pueden hacer las tareas del hogar, pero tienen que trabajar en el campo. No tienen derecho a tomar alimentos por sí mismos, alguien tiene que darles, no pueden cocinar ni siquiera entrar en la cocina " , dice Kavita. Los clichés y los mitos culturales sobre la menstruación de las mujeres obstaculizan su desarrollo saludable, su seguridad alimentaria y su salud.

"Los miembros de la comunidad piensan que cuando una mujer tiene su período, es impura y todo lo que entra en contacto con ella se vuelve impuro y no se puede usar".

Kavita es una firme defensora del cambio y cree que "en el mundo en que vivimos, las mujeres deberían tener la libertad de decidir qué quieren hacer o no, si tienen un trabajo, comenzar una familia u otro". Por ello, continuará luchando por los derechos de las mujeres y cambiará las actitudes en su comunidad.

Museo

Ni Una Menos Chile y la línea programática de memoria y feminismo del Museo de la Memoria y los Derechos Humanos presentan la exposición " Ni una Menos Chile: Tres años de lucha, resistencia y rebeldía".

Esta exposición conmemora los tres años de Ni Una Menos Chile, movimiento que comenzó como respuesta a los feminicidios ocurridos en Argentina, y que en Chile tiene su inicio el 19 de octubre, día en que se convoca, a nivel nacional, a marchar contra la violencia feminicida.

Qué es Ni Una Menos Chile
"Ni Una Menos Chile es el estallido de la memoria feminista. Un grito de resistencia, lucha, dolor y rabia que recorre Latinoamérica por la negación de una vida libre de violencias que nos atraviesa a las mujeres.

"Ni Una Menos es un grito callejero, un lamento, una tarea urgente, un ejercicio de cuestionamiento constante a lo cotidiano. Es resistencia al sistema patriarcal que históricamente ha saqueado nuestra historia y nuestros cuerpos.

"Ni Una Menos somos mujeres organizadas. Somos lucha colectiva, rabia movilizadora y anhelo de transformación social. Somos rostros del activismo de mujeres y feministas. Ni Una Menos somos todas."

Fundación Museo de la Memoria y los Derechos Humanos cuenta con el financiamiento del Gobierno de Chile, a través del Servicio Nacional del Patrimonio Cultural.

"Ne vinovata" (Not Her Fault) It's a feminist movement that started as a rock concert and now it's an international movement against (mainly) domestic abuse.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Some 14,000 women in Russia die each year due to domestic violence. Another 36,000 suffer physical abuse every day, according to data published by Amnesty International. Yet these numbers are not being tacked with tough anti-violence legislation: Russian lawmakers decriminalised domestic battery in 2017, and the law still does not provide restraining orders that would keep abusers away from the victims.

Now, frustrated with the lack of official response, a grassroots movement is fighting to raise awareness of the issue and change the status quo. The movement spawned Not Her Fault Fest - an international series of art events in support of domestic abuse survivors, including concerts, screenings, lectures, and workshops organised by local artists and activists. It began in 2019, when events took place in 22 cities across Russia and Belarus to raise money for crisis centres and charities supporting domestic abuse survivors. Now, Not Her Fault is present in 40 cities across six countries, across Russia, Belarus, Georgia, Finland, Poland, and Uzbekistan.

The Calvert Journal talked to two of the organisers from last year's St Petersburg event, Katya Valera and Lolja Nordic. on how a grassroots movement can go global, and the challenges that still lie ahead.

How did the movement begin?

KV: It all started with a conversation between two Russian artists - Bryansk band Kick Chill and a Tomsk band POZORY - about an event in support of domestic violence victims. This idea resonated with many people, with activists and artists reaching out to each other across Russia and Belarus to hold similar events in different cities. That was last year. This year, people were already aware of the action and started getting in touch with us on their own initiative.

How does the organisational process work? Do you collaborate with organisers in other cities?

KV: It's very important for us to have a horizontal structure within the organisation. Anyone can join the movement; all we ask people to do is to read our manifesto and to explicitly agree with what it says. We have one chat for all organisers, which is active 24/7, and we also have weekly calls to discuss specific issues and topics with the most active members of the team. We don't supervise the process in other cities, but experienced organisers are always there for the newcomers. Last year, I was working at an event like this for the first time, and now I can share my skills and knowledge with others.

Who takes part at the events? There seems to be a broad range of creatives and activists - how do you curate the programme?

LN: We call this festival "a DIY action," and the DIY aspect is very important for us. Usually, people are afraid of organising events like this, and we really want to prove that anyone can do it. We welcome everyone who has the wish and opportunity to participate.

The movement started with music, specifically punk music, as its main theme, but later we broadened the scope to other arts and activities. We realised that some cities don't necessarily have an organised and progressive music scene, but it would be unfair to exclude these places from the movement. Now we have lectures, screenings, exhibitions, and all kinds of activities in the programme. It just needs to be something that will bring people to the event, something art-related. It really depends on each location and what it has to offer.

How would you describe your mission?

LN: There are several things that are equally important to us. Of course, we are a charitable movement, and a lot of people think that raising money must be our main goal. We are doing our best in this regard, but we also understand that fundraising can be quite difficult in smaller cities, and we never want our organisers to feel frustrated if they can't raise very much.

Our educational mission is just as important. We offer crucial support: sometimes even in larger cities, people aren't aware that crisis centres exist for victims of domestic violence. They just wouldn't know where to seek free psychological support or legal advice in that kind of situation.

Finally, we want to create a space for solidarity-a community that is brought together by shared values and ideas, a creative network within a friendly environment. This movement allows us to see who really supports what we believe in and who tries to distance themselves from the feminist agenda.

What are the main challenges you've faced while organising Not Her Fault?

KV: There are local and global challenges. It's quite easy to work in Petersburg and Moscow, as there are many venues and artists who want to collaborate with us. In smaller cities, there are fewer people and bands who are interested in the issue, so we need to try harder to engage both the participants and the audiences. Globally, the most challenging thing is that we all do this in our free time, after work, and don't get paid. Last year, it felt very exciting doing something completely new, but now it's becoming more of a routine, so we're trying to avoid burnout.

The movement has significantly grown compared to last year. What are your plans for the future?

KV: We would like to expand even further: the more cities and countries join us, the better. We welcome everyone.

LN: It's also very important to maintain our horizontal structure as we go global. A lot of people think that it's just expats from Russia who are working with us in other countries, and that our events are all about Russian organisations, but in fact, wherever an event is happening, we want its focus to be on the local agenda. Want to provide information relevant for local people, whether they live in Bryansk, Tashkent, or Warsaw. This year, the event in Helsinki is raising money for a Russian charity, but our goal is to help organisations on the ground. If we expand to really progressive countries where this problem isn't perhaps so urgent, we would offer them a chance to donate to other countries that need help, but we want to build a network of mutual support.

Register to join us at our RUN NOW Launch Party on Wednesday, June 2nd at 7:30PM ET
In the summer of 1966, a group of tenacious women convened in Washington, D.C. to discuss their immense frustration on the status of women's rights and equality in the United States. A bold vision emerged from this talk: empower and mobilize a grassroots network of activists to fight for equality - a mission that officially established the National Organization for Women (NOW).

Dr. Pauli Murray, Betty Friedan, Shirley Chisholm, and Catherine East were NOW members who made history on the frontlines fighting for change, advising leaders behind the scenes, and running for office at the local, state, and national levels. As the United States' largest grassroots feminist organization, the NOW community is made up of hundreds of thousands of smart, driven, and talented changemakers.

For decades, NOW members shaped our national discourse, disrupted the status quo, and built the bench of feminist activists, both in-office and behind the scenes working on campaigns. Now is the time to harness their passion and turn it into action. We are asking our changemakers to RUN NOW.

RUN NOW is a unique program available exclusively to NOW members that provides training on how to run for office and how to become a professional campaign operative. Prospective candidates and campaigners will have the opportunity to learn the full mechanics of campaigning from experts and thought leaders from top leading political organizations.

We have a goal to train 2,022 members by the 2022 midterm elections. RUN NOW will be a catalyst to motivate more feminists to run for office and to lead winning campaigns in local, state, and national races.

NOW has led transformative, cultural change since its founding. We are asking our members to join the next iteration of our legacy and RUN NOW!

Special thanks to our expert trainers from leading industry organizations:

"Las Tesis"  created an international hit song and dance that went viral. The song known as" Un violador en tu camino" was presented on November 25, 2019, to commemorate the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women Performance quickly spread through social media and began to have an impact globally.
Adapted into different languages, the anthem of the feminist group could be heard in different demonstrations in countries such as Argentina, France, Spain, Germany, Turkey and even in India, among others.

El colectivo feminista "Las Tesis" fue nominado por la revista estadounidense Time como una de las 100 personalidades más influyentes del 2020. El texto que destaca al colectivo chileno fue escrito por Nadya Tolokonnikova, integrante del colectivo de punk-rock feminista ruso Pussy Riot.

"La perfomance del colectivo feminista chileno muestra hoy cómo el arte popular puede cambiar el mundo, no entretener", dijo Tolokonnikova en la publicación.

"Las Tesis crearon una canción de éxito internacional y un baile que se volvió viral, y a diferencia de la mayoría de los 'bangers', no se trata de esa fiesta del viernes", destacó en el texto.

"Culpar a la víctima y avergonzarla son los supuestos profundamente ideológicos que están incorporados en nuestro cerebro, educación y sistemas legales a nivel mundial. Hay que cambiarlo. El siglo XXI es el siglo de la hermandad", concluyó.

Mujeres interpretando "Un violador en tu camino" en Roma, Italia.

La canción conocida como "Un violador en tu camino", fue presentada el 25 de noviembre de 2019, para conmemorar el Día Internacional de la Eliminación de la Violencia contra la Mujer. La perfomance se propagó rápidamente por las redes sociales y comenzó a tener un impacto a nivel mundial.

Adaptado en diferentes idiomas, el himno de la agrupación feminista se pudo escuchar en diferentes manifestaciones en países como Argentina, Francia, España, Alemania, Turquía e incluso en India, entre otros.

El colectivo "Las Tesis" es un grupo originado en Valparaíso (centro) y es conformado por Paula Cometa, Daffne Valdés, Sibila Sotomayor y Lea Cáceres.

El 15 de julio un tribunal dio prisión suspendida de un año a Adriano Pozo, un joven que arrastró tirando de los cabellos a su ex pareja por la recepción de un hostal luego de intentar violarla. La versión de Pozo, hijo de un regidor provincial bien contactado con las autoridades judiciales de la región Ayacucho, pesó más en la sentencia, pues los magistrados afirmaron no haber encontrado pruebas del intento de violación a Arlette Contreras ni de intento de femicidio. Cuatro días después, un juzgado en Lima absolvió por el delito de secuestro a Rony García, quien en 2012 golpeó salvajemente a Lady Guillén: lo sentenció a cuatro años de prisión suspendida por delitos contra la vida, el cuerpo y la salud. Ambas tienen miedo de que sus agresores las maten. Ante tales sentencias, el nacimiento en Facebook del grupo llamado "Ni una menos" , resultó trascendente. Al igual que en otros países, particularmente Argentina, la iniciativa consiguió movilizar a la sociedad civil y a las instituciones públicas y privadas para organizar una marcha nacional e internacional que exija al sistema judicial un trato adecuado a las mujeres que sufren violencia.

El primer logro antes de la marcha del 13 de agosto ha sido una decisión del Poder Judicial -el jueves 11- de incluir como obligatoria una capacitación en enfoque de género para los jueces, y en la víspera conformó una comisión de justicia de género en la judicatura con el objeto de "contrarrestar la desigualdad y la discriminación, y remediar situaciones asimétricas de poder".

El Consejo Ejecutivo del Poder Judicial ha denominado la iniciativa Plan Nacional de Capacitación de Jueces sobre Justicia con Perspectiva de Género. La misma tiene como objetivo otorgar herramientas que permitan "conocer adecuadamente, prevenir y atender de manera integral los casos de violencia de género". El mismo día, una veintena de jóvenes realizaron una intervención ciudadana en las escalinatas del Palacio de Justicia en el centro de Lima, escenificando la imagen que se viralizó el mes pasado, de Arlette Contreras gritando mientras era golpeada y arrastrada de los cabellos: las parejas repetían el hecho, para reiterar una prueba -un video- que no fue tomado en cuenta por la corte ayacuchana. La imagen fue similar, en efecto, a una caricatura de Carlín Tovar, en el diario La República, en la que los miembros de la sala que falló contra Contreras dicen al agresor "Solo hay lesiones leves, puede irse con libertad condicional", frente a la joven en el piso, jaloneada por Pozo, desnudo, igual al video de circuito cerrado del alojamiento.

Las organizadoras de la movilización del 13 de agosto, entre las que se encuentran la artista plástica Natalia Iguiñiz, la filósofa Jimena Ledgard y la popular actriz Monica Sánchez, pusieron énfasis en convocar a familias y niños, no solo a mujeres que se identifiquen con las mujeres violentadas y maltratadas por sus parejas y por el sistema de justicia.

Perú ocupó hasta 2012 el primer lugar por cantidad de casos de violación sexual en Latinoamérica: según el Observatorio de Seguridad Ciudadana de la OEA, el país andino tiene una tasa de 28 víctimas por cada 10.000 habitantes, de violación denunciada a la policía. Es decir, ocupa ahora el segundo escalón luego de Bolivia.

Sumándose a "Ni Una Menos", la Defensoría del Pueblo reveló en agosto que entre 2009 y 2015, un promedio mensual de diez mujeres han sido asesinadas en Perú en situaciones de femicidio, y que el es el tercer país con los más altos índices de violencia en femicidios íntimos, de acuerdo a la CEPAL.

Además, en el último año más de 163.300 mujeres fueron violentadas sexualmente por parte de sus parejas. Entre el 2006 y el 2015 el Ministerio Público recibió 174.895 denuncias de delitos contra la libertad sexual, pero muchos casos no llegan hasta ese nivel, pues las mujeres reciben maltrato verbal en las comisarías cuando suelen intentar denunciar una agresión o una violación. Los policías suelen preguntarles ¿Qué habrás hecho para que te golpeen? o ¿cómo estaba vestida?
Los medios
Como si las dos sentencias de julio no hubieran sido suficientes para alertar a los medios de la necesidad de un tratamiento cuidadoso en la información sobre las agresiones contra la mujer, el diario más vendido en Iberoamérica, Trome, editado en Perú por el Grupo El Comercio, y la principal radio del país, reportaron un femicidio como una anécdota de un jugador del videojuego Dota. "Popular youtuber de Dota asesinó a mujer que se negó a tener relaciones", reportó RPP Noticias; y Trome colocó la noticia en la sección Tecnología: "Dota 2: joven asesinó a cuchilladas a su amiga tras intentar abusar de ella".

"A Marielena la recogí de su casa y en mi auto nos fuimos a mi casa en San Isidro. Pedimos pizza y le dije para tener relaciones sexuales y ella se negó. Insistí y salió corriendo, pero luego la tranquilicé e hice que suba al carro para irnos", relató Trome.

Erick Espinal, de 20 años, ya había sido denunciado a la policía en febrero porque intentó hacer lo mismo con otra joven, pero ésta logró escapar y salvar su vida. La Policía Nacional lo soltó.

Los casos, no cesan en cantidad ni en la magnitud de la violencia: el 8 de agosto, el tabloide Trome informó que un hombre atacó con un ladrillo a su conviviente porque la comida que preparó estaba muy picante. Esta vez, el diario incluyó el cintillo de "Ni una menos", al lado de la noticia.

También el semanario Caretas generó una fuerte polémica al ofrecer la portada a Adriano Pozo en una foto con actitud de autosuficiencia, y una entrevista concesiva, suave. La revista respondió argumentando que solo quiso obtener respuestas del agresor de Arlette Contreras, "pero de ninguna manera pretendemos mantener una cómplice neutralidad. Basta una primera mirada a la portada de la última edición para constatar que las tintas están cargadas contra el indignante fenómeno del femicidio", alegó.

Las voces contra "Ni una menos", sin embargo, están activas. Las críticas al feminismo, al enfoque de género y al contenido político del movimiento, son evidentes. La Iglesia Católica, en particular el arzobispo de Lima, Juan Luis Cipriani, ha sido furibundo contra el movimiento. Pero también políticos y ciudadanos de a pie han manifestado su oposición al mismo. Sin embargo, la ola en Facebook y en las calles es poderosa. La piedra ha empezado a rodar y la movilización del 13 de agosto lo ha dejado claro. El respeto a la mujer y a sus derechos son un imperativo ético. La sociedad peruana parece haberse hecho cargo de ello.
