1. 32% of girls in Ecuador report experiencing sexual violence in school. “This is a symbolic case: Paola represents many girls in the region who are living, or have lived, through this situation already..." - @catamartinezc, Regional Director theguardian.com/global-develop…
@catamartinezc 2. Earlier this week, Paola's mother Petita testified in court on her daughter's behalf. “I don’t want to see any more Paolas. I’ve been fighting for nearly 18 years for my daughter because we have not achieved anything in my country." #JusticiaPorPaola
3. "I can’t believe that anyone could state that an adolescent girl like Paola could be in love with a 65-year-old man. My daughter was manipulated by this man, there was no love there. If they blame her, they are blaming her because she is a woman.” #JusticiaPorPaola

Juez Sierra Porto de la @CorteIDH reprende a la delegación del Ecuador por su ambigüedad en el “reconocimiento de responsabilidad”. Según el Estdo solo reconoció ciertos hechos. @fabriciovelav @LoloMino @InigedUCE
#JusticiaPorPaola
El mismo juez señala falta de lealtad procesal por parte de la delegación del Ecuador. Lo que implica la falta de seriedad con la que la Procuraduría tomó la audiencia.
Por su parte el juez Vio Grossi se indigna por la forma en la cual el Estado ha intentado trasladar la violencia a la víctima. Recalca que no hay razón en señalar que ella “perdió el año”. Además, manifiesta que el Estado no se puede beneficiar de sus ineficiencias.

Today, Paola's mother had to testify on behalf of her daughter, who can no longer speak for herself because of the heinous crimes committed against her. No mother should have to go through this. We are fighting so that they won't have to. #JusticiaPorPaola Image
@ReproRightsLAC @CepamGuayaquil We are asking the @CorteIDH to award direct reparations to Paola’s mother, Doña Petita. Further, we are demanding standards for States to recognize the epidemic of sexual violence in schools, the power disparities in relations between girls and adults with serious age gaps...

Paola Guzmán Albaraccín murió a los 16 años en Guayaquil.
Por dos años había sido violada por el vicerrector de su colegio, quedo embarazada y fue obligada a abortar en el servicio médico del colegio. Allí el médico le dijo que le practicaría el aborto solo si tenía sexo con él
Esto llevó a Paola el 12 de diciembre del 2002 a intentar suicidarse tomando fósforo blanco en casa antes de ir al colegio. Al llegar al colegio le contó a sus amigas y ellas informaron a las autoridades del colegio, quienes en lugar llevarla al médico la pusieron a rezar
A las amigas se les autorizó a avisar a la mamá tres horas después de que Paola llegara al colegio, la mamá la recogió y la llevó a una clínica.
Paola falleció horas después.

@CorteIDH @ReproRightsLAC CW: Rape

When Paola started struggling in school, her vice-principal, who was 50 years older than her, offered to help her with her work under the condition that she have sex with him. After harassing and pressuring her for months, the vice-principal raped Paola repeatedly.
The abuse continued for several months before Paola realized she was pregnant. When the vice-principal learned of the pregnancy, he asked her to get an abortion and sent her to the school doctor, who agreed to perform the procedure under one condition, that she have sex with him.
