The actress spoke with Luis Bremer about her militancy within the feminist movement and in her career and she also referred to the controversy over the last cover story of the magazine Caras, where she appears photographed inside a bag as a victim of a femicide.
Peña said that, at first, the idea for the cover was to make a awareness campaign on breast cancer, although in light of the femicide of Úrsula Bahillo, it was decided to change it for the cover that would later generate controversy between those who defend the production and those who affirm that it trivializes the problem.
“It seemed to me that I, who have 5 million followers on Instagram and two million on Twitter, could do something about it. I never imagined such a virulent return “, Held.
“I and the magazine are criticized as if it were impossible for us to carry conscience from that place”Peña remarked.
Also, the actress criticized the actions of justice and assured that it is necessary to change the laws. “We are fed up with the fact that the State cannot articulate the help that a woman deserves who makes one, two, three, eighteen complaints. We need justice to be faster, that the police stations take complaints quickly and that they can do something about it “, he pointed.
On the other hand, Florencia Peña referred to her feminist militancy and told how many situations that were previously naturalized in the audiovisual industry, today are being called into question.
“I participated in one of the most misogynistic sketches as was the father of The girl -number in which Arturo (Guillermo Francella) was in love with his daughter’s best friend (Julieta Prandi) -. At that time I did not realize I naturalized a lot of harassment in my profession, no one had taught me that this was wrong. Today I raise my children in construction ”, he expressed.
“I always lived my life feministically (sic) talking and I never needed to think about it in those terms, I started to think about it that way when I began to realize that there were women who were having a hard time and who had no voice, “concluded the actress.
