Sexism in Puerto Rico: the Legacy of La Comay
Update: 2020-10-12
Description
La Comay needs to be cancelled. This tv show does not need any more space on the air. It's time.
For those who may not know, La Comay is a show in Puerto Rico that is under fire for their sexualization of an image of a young girl. The incident occurred just this past week and involves the daughter of the only woman running for governor of Puerto Rico.
In this episode, I wanted to share the response of one journalist in an article written by a journalist and educator Christina Del Mar Quiles on todaspr.com - because she perfectly captured that this behavior represents a continuous cycle of violence against women in Puerto Rico.
