Bolivian lawyer: “The Court highlights the importance of making visible the crime of incestuous rape” | Vídeo

La Paz, May 31 (EFE).- The bill known as the “Brisa Law,” which proposes to toughen legislation on sexual crimes against minors in Bolivia, has sparked a debate among human rights organizations and religious and civil society groups that question the scope of the reforms and their potential impact on judicial guarantees.

STATEMENTS BY MÓNICA BAYÁ, TECHNICAL SECRETARY OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMUNITY.

TRANSLATION:

1. "The court also highlights the importance of raising awareness about incestuous rape. Currently, it is considered an aggravating factor under our laws, but what the court argues is that it should be given its own legal designation; it should be treated differently within our legal code, particularly within the framework of criminal policy, so that this increased visibility translates into a range of responses from the justice system, as well as at the executive branch level in terms of preventing this type of violence."

2. "In 2023, the bill now known as 010 was introduced in the Senate. It was approved more than a year later in 2024 and has since been in the Chamber of Deputies, in the Human Rights Committee. Last year, it was reintroduced, and in March of this year, a proposed amendment to that bill was submitted, which is the one that has been under discussion in various technical working groups."
