Argentine singer Tini Stoessel has amplified calls for action against femicide, sharing a powerful message on Instagram following the murders of teenagers Agostina Vega and Dulce Candia.
None of us are safe.
Stoessel expressed deep concern and fear, stating, "None of us are safe." She questioned the ongoing cycle of violence, asking, "How long? How long will we keep reading these news stories? How long will it be commonplace? How long will we have to name one more?" The singer, who has previously used her platform for social causes, urged for tangible policies to address the crisis.
How long? How long will we keep reading these news stories? How long will it be commonplace? How long will we have to name one more?
The case of Agostina Vega, a 14-year-old from Córdoba, highlights the urgency of the issue. She disappeared on May 23 after leaving home to buy empanadas and was found dead a week later. Authorities are investigating her mother's boyfriend, Claudio Barrelier, as the sole suspect. A taxi driver who took Agostina to meet Barrelier provided crucial testimony, recalling that she mentioned meeting her mother's boyfriend and that it was meant to be a surprise for her mother.
Justice for Agostina and for Dulce. Living with fear, living knowing that this doesn't stop. Feeling that none of us are safe, that fear continues to be part of our reality.
