The piece highlights sexist attitudes that contribute to fueling the issue and “invites” the world of sport to join the debate
Esporte Clube Bahia started this Friday (22.mar.2024) a campaign against “rape culture” And says “invite the world of football to join this debate”. On a video published on social media, a woman appears lying in a bathtub. She appears to wake up disoriented without knowing where she is. While the narrator reproduces sexist speeches, a man fills the container until he drowns her.
“'Stop the nonsense, a little psycho on the street doesn't kill anyone'. 'If it's not for washing, ironing and cooking, it's no use to me'”says the narrator. “'Boy, the young one, being able to be any age, giving in to me…', 'My wife doesn't get ready to go out alone. Could it be that she really didn’t want to?”to be continued.
“If you think and have sexist attitudes, you feed a culture: rape culture”, says a woman in the advertisement, which ends with the phrase “It’s your fault, not the body.”
