Being Olimpia

by Indira Caro

After being exposed on the internet at 18 years old, Olimpia decided to find justice by her own hand. As sexual virtual violence wasn’t considered a crime in Mexico, she accepted and embraced her story and turned it into a battle flag. In 2019, she played a fundamental role in the enactment of a groundbreaking law, named after her, to protect women against cyberviolence. She’s now a public character that reappropriated her narrative, but remains with an open wound and a lingering gaze. The border between her public and private life is blurred. She’s no longer who she was forced to be, but who she decided to become.
