Arrasate City Council condemns sexual assault on a minor at Maritxu Drawer Night

The City of Arrasate has strongly denounced the sexual assault that took place in the town during the night of Maritxu Kajoi. In a statement, the organization has explained that the City Council has shown its direct solidarity and support to the young woman who has been sexually assaulted and "has made available to her from the outset the services and tools available to her to deal with this type of violence".

"Since the victim is a minor woman, the City of Arrasate calls for her protection and respect for her wishes," he added. 

According to the City Council, all the institutions involved in the case respected the victim's desire not to make public the complaint lodged. In this regard, the Arrasate City Council has strongly condemned possible leaks from other institutions, as a media outlet has published the news. 

The City Council has called on the citizens to "maintain their position and commitment against male violence, to remain vigilant more than ever, to ensure that women who are suffering violence receive the support of these institutions and the entire community".

Therefore, in the coming days, the City Council has called to join the mobilizations that may be convened by the local Feminist Movement and has invited and requested the public to attend.
