The group rape of a minor with disabilities that did not mobilize feminists
In August 2023, a young woman with disabilities was gang-raped by two minors near Fuente de la Salud park, in the Las Delicias neighborhood of Valladolid, Spain. The prosecutor's office is seeking five years in juvenile detention, three years of supervised release and a two-year restraining order. However, unlike other high-profile gang rape cases, such as La Manada during the San Fermín festival, this one has not sparked a single feminist demonstration. The question is: why?
The ethnic factor dividing opinion
Comments in the public sphere point to a bias: the attackers are not young white Spaniards, but of Roma or Maghrebi ethnicity. It is noted that when the rapist's profile fits the 'white man' stereotype, the feminist reaction is immediate and massive. But when the accused are minors of foreign origin, the silence is deafening. Some argue that the lack of mobilization is due to the case not receiving the same media coverage, or to the victim being disabled and therefore less visible. Others, however, maintain that mainstream feminism prioritizes the fight against 'white patriarchy' and avoids cases where the attackers come from minority groups so as not to be labeled racist.
The comparison with other gang rape cases
When the La Manada case went to trial, the streets were filled with banners demanding justice. Here, the requested sentence is shorter (five years compared to nine in that case) and the accused are minors, which legally explains part of the lower outcry. But the argument is not entirely convincing: sensual violence against a minor with disabilities is, if anything, more serious, and group intimidation is present. The qualitative difference lies in the identity of the attackers: while in the La Manada case they were five middle-class friends from Seville, here they are two boys of immigrant origin who used expressions like "filthy paya" (a slur against non-Roma Spaniards) or "I shit on the box of your dead".
What the data does not say is whether the feminist silence responds to a political strategy or to simple media indifference. The question nobody fully answers is: would there have been demonstrations if the attackers had been white and Spanish?
