Panama has officially become the third country in Latin America to punish digital sexual violence. With 47 votes in favor and zero against, the General Assembly of Panama approved the Olimpia Law, which outlaws both real and simulated digital sexual content without a person’s consent. The reform was inspired by Mexican activist Olimpia Coral Melo, who has fought for years for the recognition of digital sexual violence after she was a victim of the crime in Puebla, and promoted with the support of Representative Yarelis Rodríguez, who worked with legislators to recognize violation of sexual privacy as a crime for the first time in the Panamanian legislature. The first country to pass the Olimpia Law in 2018, followed by Argentina in 2023 with the Belén Law, which honors the memory of Belén San Román, a police officer who took herlife after she was a victim of digital sexual violence. #OlimpiaLaw #LeyOlimpia #OlimpiaCoralMelo #Panama #Argentina #Mexico #PueblaActivist #SexualViolenc...
