5 | Rape and other kinds of violence against women continue to be a serious issue in Mexico. | Mbola mitoetra ho olana goavana ao Meksika ny fanolanana sy ny herisetra hafa atao amin'ny vehivavy. |
6 | According to a recent report [es] by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), 47% of women in Mexico suffer from physical and/or sexual abuse during their lifetime. | Araka ny tatitra vao haingana [es] nataon'ny Fikambanana ho amin'ny Fiaraha-Miasa Ara-Toekarena sy ny Fampandrosoana (OCDE), dia ny 47% -n'ny vehivavy ao Meksika dia efa nangirifirin'ny herisetra ara-nofo sy/na ara-pananahana nandritra ny androm-piainany. |
7 | The rape of six Spanish tourists in the resort city of Acapulco during the first long holiday season in Mexico sounded alarms in the country's tourist sector but it didn't do much to jolt authorities about the rate of assaults against women - with one being raped every four minutes, according to government statistics. | Ny fanolanana ireo mpizahatany espaniola enina tao amin'ny tanandehiben'ny fizahantany ao Acapulco nandritra ny fotoan'ny fialan-tsasatra lava voalohany tao Meksika no namelona ny fanairana tao amin'ny sokajin'asan'ny fizahan-tany ao amin'ny firenena saingy tsy nahataitra loatra ny manampahefana momb ny tahan'ny fanafihana natao tamin'ny vehivavy - izay ahenoana fa misy vehivavy iray voaolana isaky ny efatra minitra, araka ny antotanisa navoakan'ny governemanta. |
8 | The crime, like violence in Mexico, has become more brutal in the last years, said Laura Martinez Rodriguez, director of one of Mexico City's oldest association for rape victims which is known by its Spanish acronym ADIVAC. | Nihanasiaka kokoa ny heloka bevava, tahaka ny herisetra ao Meksika tao anatin'izay taona faramparany izay, hoy i Laura Martinez Rodriguez, talen'ny fikambanana iray anisan'ny tranainy indrindra an'ireo lasibatry ny fanolanana fantatra amin'ny fanafohezan'anarana hoe ADIVAC ao an-tanànan'i Mexico City. |
9 | “Previously we didn't see or we didn't realize that there were burns or mutilations. | “Taloha izahay tsy nahita ary tsy nahalala fa nisy ny fandoroana na ny fampijaliam-batana. |
10 | We fortunately found women alive,” she said. | Soa izahay fa nahita ny vehivavy velona,” hoy ny nolazainy. |
11 | “Now these women are killed.” | “Ankehitriny ireny vehivavy ireny dia maty.” |
12 | The Pacific seaside town of Acapulco is now considered the second most violent city in the world with a murder rate of 142 per every hundred thousand residents, according to a Mexican non-governmental organization, Citizens' Council for Public Security and Criminal Justice. | Ilay tanàna amoron'ny ranomasimbe Pasifika ao Acapulco ankehitriny no heverina fa tanàndehibe faharoa manerantany ahitana taham-pamonoan'olona 142 isaky ny mponina iray hetsy, araka ny filazan'ny ONG Meksikana iray, Vaomieran'ny Olompirenena Ho amin'ny Fiarovam-Bahoaka sy ny Fitsarana Ny Mpanao heloka bevava. |
13 | And while the level of reported rapes were markedly lower than in other states, with only 351 reported rapes in the Acapulco's home state of Guerrero, the figure likely masks a darker reality. | Ary raha heverina ho ambany kokoa noho ny an'ny fanjakana hafa ny taha, izay nahazoana tatitra trangam-panolanana 351 monja voaray ao an-drenivohi-panjakan'i Acapulco ao Guerrero, dia manafina zavamisy matroka kokoa ny tarehimarika. |
14 | Experts say the majority of rape victims never report the crime to authorities. | Milaza ny manampahaizana manokana fa tsy milaza any amin'ny manampahefana mihitsy ny fisian-keloka ny ankamaroan'ny lasibatry ny fanolanana. |
15 | A strong culture of machismo discourages women from coming forward and many don't know where else to turn. | Misy kolontsaim-panjakazakan'ny lehilahy mahery vaika izay manakivy ny vehivavy handroso ary maro no tsy mahalala izay toeran-kafa azo aleha. |
16 | A 2011 government survey found that an estimated 94 percent of rapes aren't documented. | Misy fanadihadiana nataon'ny governemanta tamin'ny 2011 izay nahita fa tombanana ho ny 94 isanjaton'ny fanolanana no tsy voarakitra. |

18 | “There still exists places where people think that a woman wearing a miniskirt is provoking an assault and that's not the case. | “Mbola misy ihany ny toerana ahitana olona mieritreritra fa manao fihantsiana ny vehivavy manao zipofohy nefa tsy izany no izy. |
19 | These are crimes that have nothing to do with the personality of a person,” said Erika Molina Carranza, who is head of the unit that investigates rape cases in Mexico City. | Misy ny heloka bevava izay tsy misy ifandraisany amin'ny mahaizy ilay olona,” hoy i Erika Molina Carranza, izay lehiben'ny vondrona mpanao famotorana momba ny trangam-panolanana ao an-tanànan'i Meksika. |
20 | Further discouraging women, the perpetrator is often a friend or family member, as was the case of Abundio García Guadalupe, the 44-year-old accused of raping his 12 year-old-step daughter in the nearby state of Jalisco. | Zavatra iray tsy mampaharisika ny vehivavy ihany koa matetika dia namana na fianakaviana ihany no manao ilay fanolanana, tahaka ny an'ilay Abundio García Guadalupe, 44 taona voampanga ho nanolana ny zana-badiny 12 taona tany akaikin'ny fanjakan'i Jalisco. |
21 | She gave birth this January to his child. | Niteraka ny zanany izy tamin'ny janoary. |
22 | He claims that there was never a violation because he did everything with the consent of the child and his wife. | Nilaza izy fa tsy nisy ny herisetra satria nanao ny zavatra rehetra omban'ny faneken'ny zaza sy ny vadiny izy. |
23 | Even when women do report the crimes, they don't want to press charges. | Na dia mitatitra ny fisian'ny heloka aza ny vehivavy dia tsy mitozo amin'ny fiampangana. |
24 | Molina said about half the women that file complaints don't follow through because the judicial process is often long and they don't want to confront their violators. | Nilaza i Molina fa ny atsasaky ny vehivavy nametraka fitoriana no tsy mitozo noho ny fombam-pitsarana lava loatra sady tsy te-hifanatrika amin'ny mpanolana aminy izy ireo. |
25 | It can take a whole day just to provide a police report with victims having to write their whole report, sit with an illustrator to create a sketch of the victim and then meet with a medical doctor who administers the rape kit. | Mandany andro manontolo ny manome tatitra amin'ny polisy miaraka amin'ny niharam-boina voatery manoratra manontolo ny fitoriany (tatitra), mipetraka miaraka amin'ny mpahay sary hanoritsoritana (ny lasibatra sa nanao heloka) ary ny fihaonana amin'ny dokotera mpitsabo izay manome ny fanafody ilaina raha niharan'ny fanolanana. |
26 | “When they realize the gravity of the charges they don't want to go through with it,” Molina said. | “Rehefa fantatry ry zareo ny havesatry ny heolka dia tsy te-hiroso ry zareo,” hoy i Molina. |
27 | In Mexico City, government and civil agencies that work with rape victims find that the most troubling barrier to confronting rapes is the countries' own prejudices. | Ao Mexico City, tsikaritry ny governemanta sy ireo sampan-draharaha sivily misahana ny trangam-panolanana fa ny sakana lehibe indrindra hiatrehana ny fanolanana dia ny fomba fitsaratsarana dison'ny firenena. |
28 | Many women don't even want to tell authorities because they think nobody will believe they were raped or they will consider them sluts, and some families pressure the victim not to bring shame to the family's name. | Maro ny vehivavy no tsy te-hilaza amin'ny manampahefana akory satria mieritrritra ry zareo fa tsy hisy ny hino hoe naolana ry zareo na hieritreritra azy ho jiolahimbavy, ary eo ihany koa ny faneren'ny fianakaviana amin'ny lasibatra tsy hampitondra henatra ny anaram-pianakaviana. |
29 | The dismal rate of documented rapes are clear at ADIVAC's offices, where roughly 400 victims come in every month, about 10 percent of them were assaulted by strangers. | Ny hakelin'ny trangam-panolanana voarakitra (nanaovana fitoriana) dia mazava ao amin'ny biraon'ny ADIVAC izay ahitana fa amin'ny lasibatra 400 isam-bolana dia ny 10 isanjato eo ho eo no notafihan'ny vahiny (olon-tsy fantatra). |
30 | That number pales to the monthly reported rapes in the city, which averages about 70 per month. | Vasoka izany isa izany raha oharina amin'ny trangam-panolanana voarakitra ao an-tanàna izay manodidina ny 70 isam-bolana. |
31 | Mexico City registers 18 rapes per 100,000 residents annually, a figure experts call far lower than the actual rate. | Mandrakitra trangam-panolanana 18 isaky ny mponina 100.000 isan-taona (ny tanànan')i Mexico City, tarehimarika lazain'ny manampahaizana ho ambany lavitra amin'ny tena isany. |

33 | What troubles Martinez is that recently she has seen more violent and brazen rapes. | Ny tena mampihorohoro an'i Martinez dia vao haingana izay no nahery setra kokoa sy mafy kokoa ny fanolanana. |
34 | “We have seen it all. | “Nahita avokoa izahay rehetra. |
35 | One time a woman was attacked at six in the morning on her way to work. | Indray mandeha nisy vehivavy iray niharam-boina tamin'ny enina maraina izy an-dalana hiasa. |
36 | The attacker grabbed her from behind as she crossed an overpass,” she said. | Nisintona azy avy any aoriana ny namely azy raha niampita tetezan'ny mpandeha an-tongotra izy,” hoy izy. |
37 | But authorities only hear about a fraction of them. | Saingy sombintsombiny ihany no ren'ny manampahefana. |
38 | In one case, a serial rapist was attacking women for more than one year in a poor zone in the south of the city before they could catch up with him. | Nisy tranga iray, nanafika vehivavy nihoatra ny herintaona ilay efa zatra ny manolana iray any amin'ny faritry ny mahantra atsimon'ny tanàna nialoha ny nahasamborana azy. |
39 | Molina said it wasn't until three women came forward, that police began to look for the suspect. | Nilaza i Molina fa tsy natao izany mandra-piasian'ny vehivavy telo nametraka fitoriana, izay vao nikaroka ny ahiahiana ny polisy. |
