Seven men in India raped Spanish influencer Fernanda, with partner Vicente as forced witness.
During their vacation in India, a country known for sexual violence cases, Fernanda and Vicente faced a brutal assault.
Official figures from 2020 indicate that someone reports a rape in India every 15 minutes on average. Despite India’s tough measures, including capital punishment for rapists, deterrence appears minimal.
The rape of Fernanda joins a long list of violent acts committed against women in India. Nationwide protests and stricter laws followed the 2012 Delhi gang rape, causing global outrage.

The repeated incidents of sexual violence in India raise questions about the effectiveness of law enforcement and crime prevention.
Activists demand preventive actions against violence and a deep dive into patriarchal structures enabling it.
