- Documentary and colloquium: No estás loca. La verdad sobre la violencia vicaria
On Wednesday, March 18 at 4 p.m. in the auditorium of the URV, the documentary No estás loca. La verdad sobre la violencia vicaria was screened. The activity, co-organised by the FEMMINOR research project, also included a colloquium with the director, Maria Bestar. The film takes an intimate and collective journey through the stories of women who have suffered vicarious violence in Spain. The piece brings together more than forty testimonies of women, adolescents and professionals - judges, psychologists, journalists, paediatricians - who reveal how the judicial system systematically fails children. The film is, at the same time, a cry for help and a song to hope; a reminder that there is still much to be done, but also that the strength and unity of the victims and those who accompany them can drive necessary change.
