The first case is of a 19-year-old Colombian-Philanthropist, Sharon Hernández, who lived abroad and returned to Ibagué, Tolima, for a family event. Due to the pandemic, she could not return, and during her stay she met a man 7 years older than her, who would become her aggressor, she said in ‘Seventh day’, a Caracol Televisión program.
Although this case was known at the end of May, the young woman gave more details, in which she said that at the beginning of the relationship her boyfriend behaved like the best man and that is why she agreed to go live with him when he made the proposal, arguing that this way she did not put her grandparents at risk.
Hernández assures that his attacker, a DJ from Ibagué bars, was very attentive, but as time passed, the attacker ran out of income, which, according to the victim, made him more aggressive.
After two months of quarantine, the couple broke the isolation to go to a house party and there the man began to consume alcohol. Later, the young woman says, he began to guard her and treat her badly. When they returned to the apartment where they lived, the fight continued, which is why she decided to leave.
However, Hernández assures that her then boyfriend followed her, grabbed her arm (leaving a bruise), and threw her against the elevator, and then He took it to the balcony of the house to try to launch it from a fifth floor. She adds that the aggressor did not stop the attacks, and put her on a sofa to hit her face, while threatening her with death.
The victim claims that the man abused her for almost 10 hours, until he fell asleep and she was able to escape.
A similar case happened to a young woman from Bogotá, Karen Rico, who in quarantine went to live with her boyfriend in Soacha, said ‘Seventh day’.
As in the case of Hernández, Rico’s boyfriend behaved decently, but over time he lost his job, and became more aggressive.
The young woman assures that the fights were more frequent every time. He began to treat her badly and, although she forgave him on several occasions, she decided to separate.
However, the man did not let her out; to hold her back, he pushed her against the wall. She fell on the bed and there, the victim says, he got on top, hit her in the face and even put a knife to her neck.
Rico points out that her ex-partner beat her for about three hours; broke his nose three times, and was only able to escape when he fell asleep, and was able to ask the police for help, as heard in this report from the program.
And it is that during the quarantine, complaints of domestic violence increased, according to the Colombian Observatory for Women.
The pandemic has forced thousands of women to live with their attackers 24 hours a day, which has increased the cries for help to the purple lines, but the difficulty in going out and reporting points to be the cause of the fall in complaints, as explained to Efe Selene Soto, a lawyer for the non-governmental organization Women’s Link WorldWide.
For this reason, the national line 155, that of the Police 123, that of the Public Prosecutor’s Office 122 and the purple ones, in Bogotá, 01 8000 112 137, or WhatsApp 300 755 18 46, were established to report these cases.
