Like a month ago, Grace Lazcano, sports journalist arrived to En el nombre del futbol at CDF and a coworker at this moment (Romai Ugarte) made an incorrect expression.
We have the same habilitys than man.
Can we think that a men scale in a job for sexual favors? No, not in our society.
Like a future sport journalist, i feel so exposed to attitudes like this, because this kind of journalism doesn't have a lot of girls working.
I strongly belive that the girls need a space in sports like soccer, volley, basket, hockey, even in F1. I want to work in a space that i feel safety and respect. I hope that one day, guys and girls can work side by side like equal.
Romai said in a lot of interviews after the incident, that the gesture wasn't for Grace. How we can belive in that version, when other girls snitch on the journalist for discrimination.
Also he said that the image of the gesture never appears at air on the channel and people that hate him spreads this.
I feel terrible for Grace, because she is a woman and everybody knows the difficult to work in a man worlds.
In a space on the radio that with a group of classmates have, we talk about the problem, because we think that it's incorrect. Our generation wants equality in everything, and we want to eradicate the sexism from the journalism. We want more women like directors and editors in a sport section.
Our generation is fighting for more democracy on the sports journalism.
We have a lot of coworker that wants the same thing that us, and fight day by day.
Very unfortunate what happened with the journalist, but unfortunately there are many more cases where this is perceived and, therefore, it is necessary that this is completed not only in sports journalism, but in all social spaces.
ResponderBorrarI read your other entry on your motivations for becoming a sports journalist. it's great to see the energy and ambition you have to get there. you're absolutely right on that it's a very traditional space dominated by men (several of them stupid, like Romai), but women are very stong, and just as Grace worked her way in, i'm confident and hope more and more will. About the example you quote, that was disgusting. the degenerate fuck should have had the nerve not to even trying excusing what he did.
ResponderBorrarIt is incredible that now days still we have to put up with this kind of behaviors. But women had to break through a world dominated by men in many areas: engineering, medicine and science. I think we have to fight strongly against sexism and be aware of how naturalized these types of behaviors are.
