Write hurts. Numb hand. Blood runs hot arm goes to the heart, the words come out angry ...
Seeing LC can not believe that alone has defied the demons until the ethereal fragile, tired look between sweet, haloed by an unusual aura of peace. My first thought upon meeting this woman that would expedite smile was capable of embracing the Mexican disappointed in a hug and comfort, passing over his own fear ... because it is brave to the extent that is reconciled with her fear . Only those who are familiar and engaged with the pain of others can look at the way he makes this postmodern heroine who has publicly exposed about pedophiles magnates who controlled an international network of child pornography and has lived ... to tell. Armed only with words and truth, Lydia says she is not working with violence but with peace. I also said that his soul has eased lately reading Eduardo Galeano, and I said with the calm of one who has no debt to justice, much less life.
Lydia Cacho Ribeiro was born on April 12, 1963, in Mexico City, but is in Cancun, Quintana Roo, where he directs a center for women victims of domestic violence (CIAM) who founded eighteen years ago, work he says with a flutter of her eyelashes amazing, I love it. Here he has learned that there is justice after all, since 99% of the cases have a happy ending, and if not, has helped the victims to start from scratch in countries far away enough to be reached. Daughter of a Portuguese woman named Paulette who conducted fieldwork in the most squalid and dangerous, between "youth band" Lydia learned that the best way to give meaning to life itself is contributing to the happiness and welfare of others. This led her to pursue journalism, human rights, without neglecting his work at the center or his passion for literature "that haunts me the Colegio Madrid." The fusion of two passions led to the writing of the novel Bite the heart (Plaza & Janes, 2006), originally published under the title Demac provinces of the soul (2003), ie it is a work prior to the Demons of Eden story, the one who has been credited with the XIV National Human Rights Award Don Sergio Méndez Arceo and unanimous admiration of thousands of readers around the world, but also to the persecution of political and Mario Marín, governor of Puebla, he made arrangements for his arrest in complicity with the poblano Kamel Nacif, a friend and partner by now-jailed pederast in Arizona, Jean Succar Kuri, Lebanese-born businessmen both. Blanche Petrich wrote in La Jornada on February 14, 2006, referring to the disclosure of recording the telephone call in which Marín and Nacif agree to kill the journalist, deposited in the receipt of the anonymous hands daily, "Nacif Borge, his voice raspy and coarse language, concerns over the conversations how, through friends and contacts within the Cereso poblano, "recommended" that lock up Lydia with "crazy and dykes" that was violated when he entered prison, how were disregarded legal formalities to notify the reporter of the process was still against him, "because if not, fails to jail"
Later, continues Blanche Petrich, giving voice Lydia, who was arrested more than a virtual hostage, "As I entered the Cereso I went to an area of \u200b\u200breview. I ordered a youth custody undress completely. It was very humiliating, because there was only a plastic door separated us from where were the courts. It was very cold and started to sneeze. Suddenly the attendant told me: "Are you from the TV, right? Be very careful, because the van to rape. " In his terror, Cacho only able to ask: "How?" Naively, the police understood the question literally. "Then with a stick." But he recommended: "Do not worry, please to sneeze, get very, very sick so that I can take it to the nurse. " At that time the chief came to the area in turn custody. "I realized," relates Lydia Cacho, who exchanged signs and glances. No I will never forget the name of that woman. Between the two I grabbed his arms and started to move down a corridor. At the bottom there were three male trustees. Came forward and began to struggle with the custodians, trying to take me to another site. They resisted, the boss told them they were on medication and then I gave them. Running reached the door of the infirmary. Once in there assured me that it would deliver me, reassured me, let me rest and Women kept their word. Do not let me raped. "This demonstrates the vulnerability of journalists to the powerful Mexican (Mexico ranks second, below Colombia, crimes against journalists) who seem to enjoy absolute impunity, also demonstrates the kind of demons facing Lydia and whom the Constitution, against the much ballyhooed by official demagoguery, protects its failure to provide guarantees for the timely exercise of freedom of expression of journalists, if not killed, are jailed on charges of "defamation."
Lydia, who has for the time of probation, his novel is published Bite the heart, which deals with the history of Soledad, a woman infected with HIV / AIDS for her husband. Lydia built this character with glimpses of many women, most contaminated by their own spouse, which helped, encouraged and guided. Even died in their arms as Lydia also led the creation of a shelter for people living with HIV, given the contempt with which they are still treated in public health. Soledad Soledad longer ... stop being a woman, a human being to become "bed number seven:" (...) Since the clinic nurses had been told that is the policy of insurance to antiretrovirals, but there is no federal budget Specific treatment for AIDS. According to one, the government does not agree that patients die soon, keep them alive is very expensive (...) They may be right, although it is somewhat simplistic cause they do not deliver antiretrovirals in government clinics in I personally think that it is rather because there is no realistic public policy on the number of people living with immunodeficiency virus, or AIDS. If the Conasida ask me if there is AIDS in my home, and I admit it crazier than publicly. Maybe that is why in our country there are no statistics, because if any would have to confront reality, and denial is a national asset. " (Pp 76 and 77).
Soledad is the average housewife. The wife of a hotel in Cancun, elementary school teacher, mother of a boy and a girl. His life is spent in a quiet domesticity, something that could be called "happiness", until a series of physiological symptoms of place to the brutal reality: her husband has been unfaithful and has transmitted the AIDS virus. Far from being an isolated case, the reality is that housewives have come to lead the statistics of HIV carriers in Latin America over drug addicts, homosexuals and prostitutes. The virus has been installed in the sacred privacy of the family, leaving behind a trail of orphans and fostering a new generation of babies born polluted. The machismo, coupled with sexual illiteracy that our top officials seem bent on perpetuating the veto sex education in schools, is the explosive mix that will continue undoing entire families. Faced with such terrible circumstances
, Soledad starts writing a diary through which not only vent but reflects increasingly deep and dense, about themselves, their situation and those around him, as her husband (who fails to develop the disease), her feminist mother, feminist and everything that could not divert his son from the influences of an environment that insists on making men believe they can practice away with their sexuality, Carmina, his beloved best friend, which ends the story by her and her two children who witness the wasting of a once-athletic mother: "(...) I am not writing this journal to transcend, as the authors from whom I speak to and pupils write to survive, to maintain this fragile balance mind, not to let the ideas get lost in the maelstrom of depression that is stewing in my soul. I write not to die. To know that I am not dead yet. "(P. 56). Far from the melodrama
, Bite the heart (the title is a line of Jaime Sabines) shows the maturation process and awareness of a woman who, paradoxically, becomes stronger as your body is being corrupted. Soledad is aware of circumstances that was not disturbed while healthy, his true position in society, family and partner. Has acquired the maturity to forgive her husband, who otherwise will be a hateful character to the most moving, and is, as finally realizes his own solitude, Carlos has been a victim like herself, a victim of a company carrying double standards and we haggle information on behalf of a crooked Catholicism has spawned more demons than angels: "(...) the wisdom product of formal and religious education can be a drag for tolerance (...)" (p. 73) . Soledad, on the other hand, acquire consciousness of social exclusion to the "different", and specifically homosexual, experiencing firsthand the discrimination that closes all doors, especially in the professional aspect. The ignorance of this latent evil gives rise to a series of prejudices and beliefs ridiculous to suppose that the mere presence of a seropostivo can be contagious. All this leads to read Soledad Marcela Lagarde, a leading Mexican feminist author who declares Lydia own disciple and friend. Both Soledad and Carlos acquire gender consciousness, she, through his readings and conversations with other women raise their consciousness as Carmina who, like Lydia's own, draws strength from the indignation, and his wonderful mother, who is exactly who introduced Lagarde reading, he, through the suffering inflicted on his partner and misleading notions of masculinity and social demand ostentation of it. This is not a punishment (as it considers the lady redeeming out of nowhere, where they come from those who have no inner life, who insists on visiting to read the Bible), but a lesson. Finally, children learn through pain, although it is the least desirable way is, after all, an opportunity not to repeat mistakes, "Who knows what to say to two children as little about death, AIDS, monogamy, condoms in marriage? "(p. 91).
