- In the last month, there has been a growing number of reports of bites worldwide, and Euskal Herria is no exception. For example, over a hundred bites have been reported in Euskal Herria during the last weekend. But how can we stand in the face of this phenomenon? Bilgune Feminist from Euskal Herria has published her reading on social networks and we have brought her here, making a complete reading.
Bilgune Feminist says:
In relation to the latest attacks in the festive atmosphere and the media treatment of:
We are concerned. Worried and angry.
We are concerned that street violence towards postpandemic women* has become even more aggressive.
We are particularly concerned because we are reading alarm messages that feed the equality associated with male violence.
Chemical submission is not new in our country, it is another form of sexual attacks, among many.
It is a reality, another situation of violence that women live in our daily lives and, therefore, the fear we suffer is at that base.
But the speeches that fuel this terror lead to limiting our freedom through social alarm: not wearing shorts, being careful about where you're walking, not going out at night, staying at home ...
In addition, police mechanisms are being put in place that limit our freedom.
This model of 
security does not make us feel free, but victimizes us even more.
We get hit by the masculinity model that the police embody and the same system of domination that keeps it.
We don't need police to be free.
In the case of stings, besides being a mechanism of submission often violent, fear has become a resource to enter directly into our bodies.
We say this clearly: despite not having chemicals, punching a partner for fear reproduction, it is violence!
They want to depoliticize the debate, question our word and undervalue what they have experienced.
The aggressions we suffer every day are not anecdotes; they are not isolated cases.
Tertulias without feminist positions and sensationalist news perpetuate male violence.
Men must stop attacking and taking responsibility for male violence. It's time.
We must stop being accomplices and get involved in reparation, maintaining non-protagonists' attitudes.
The most demanding weapon we have to be free are the networks of mutual protection between women*!
We will continue in the street occupying nights and fighting for models of feminist parties:
We will meet at feminist festivals and txosnas of Euskal Herria!
Feminist self-defense begins!
