The Inter American Bank’s Moviliblog (Transport ideas for Latin America and the Caribean) has just published an article on this topic in Spanish under the title “¡Estoy harta de que me toquen en el bus!”, which is available in the Spanish original here — http://goo.gl/hHvP4p – and in a serviceable Google translation here– http://goo.gl/hI11WC.
The English translation opens with this:
I’m sick of being played on the bus! That’s what Alexandra Parra must have thought when, after getting off the Transmilenio in which he went to work in the center of Bogotá, decided to publicly denounce the sexual harassment she had suffered . It is not an isolated case, many women in the region suffer this humiliating treatment in the media of mass transit, crowded or not, become free zone for touching, harassment and even rape. There are even groups of offenders who encourage these abuses on the Internet .
