From FaceBook:
It is so interesting to see how from 2 (Rappler) articles that centers and elevates the experiences, thoughts, and feelings of victim survivors and the calls for improving processes, some people managed to take this as a personal attack against them and erased the victim survivors from the narrative. There are threats of defamation and legal action towards supporters of the victim survivors here and there… I wonder, do these people realize that this is also an affront to the victim survivors themselves? This is indirectly making their experiences invisible, trivializing their trauma, and focusing on processes rather than what actually happened and centering on that to make things better. Women and feminized bodies who have experienced abuse, trauma, marginalization, stigmatization, and so on, to this day have to fight for their space and right to be heard. We fight to be included in spaces that ensure that decisions are made with and for us. All this decentering is frightening cause it reflects society as a whole. Whenever we decenter situations like this, we miss the entire picture of the systemic, historical and systematic issues at play. This is why we failed to protect our students. This is why we failed to protect young girls. This is why things arent getting better.
