Summary

Jana Leo remembers each part of the moment when a man entered her apartment in Harlem and raped her. After calling the police, who showed little interest in the incident, the artist realized that the violence did not end with the rape. Preoccupied with the possibility her aggressor would return, she contacted her landlord, who refused to increase security measures. Leo sharply analyzes the vulnerability of the working class and the perverse penal justice system. In addition, she analyzes rape within the circle close to the victim, as her rapist was also her neighbor.

En Violación Nueva York Jana Leo rememora cada instante del momento en el que un hombre entró en su apartamento de Harlem y la violó. Tras llamar a la policía, que mostró un desinterés absoluto por los hechos, la artista se dio cuenta de que la violencia no acababa con la violación. Preocupada por la posibilidad de que su agresor regresase, contactó con su casero, que se negó a poner medidas de seguridad en el piso. En esta singular historia, Jana Leo analiza con profundidad y agudeza la vulnerabilidad de la clase trabajadora, las injustas leyes sobre la vivienda y un sistema de justicia penal perverso. Además, analiza las violaciones dentro del círculo cercano a la víctima, su violador era también su vecino.
