Jenni Hermoso gains UN Human Rights support for kiss scandal

Posted : 29 August 2023
Jenni Hermoso, a distinguished figure in the world of football, has garnered resolute support from the United Nations Human Rights office following a contentious incident involving a kiss shared with the president of the Spanish Football Federation, Luis Rubiales.
 
In a resounding statement, the UN organization emphasized the collective duty to "denounce and confront" instances of sexual harassment and misconduct. In the wake of Hermoso's assertion that the kiss she received on her lips after Spain's triumphant Women's World Cup final was non-consensual, Rubiales vehemently contests her account.
 
The conduct of Rubiales has evoked widespread criticism, prompting calls for his resignation. Despite being subjected to a provisional 90-day suspension from all football-related activities by the global governing body Fifa, Rubiales remains steadfast in his decision to remain in his role.
 
Echoing this sentiment, the UN body affirmed, "The sphere of women's sports remains afflicted by the scourge of sexual harassment and maltreatment. It is incumbent upon each one of us to speak out against and confront such reprehensible behavior." This message of solidarity was conveyed via the official channel of the UNHR, boasting an impressive four million followers. The post further includes the UN human rights commissioner Volker Turk's handle, as well as the hashtag #SeAcabo, which translates to 'It's over,' a rallying cry resonating strongly among supporters of Hermoso's cause.
 
The incident has spurred Spanish prosecutors into action, leading to the commencement of a preliminary inquiry to ascertain whether the act potentially constitutes a criminal offense of sexual assault.
 
As the dialogue surrounding this incident continues to unfold, the support from an authoritative global entity like the UNHR bolsters the efforts to usher in a new era of accountability and gender equity within the realm of sports. The shared determination to transform this moment into a catalyst for lasting change resonates with Jenni Hermoso's pursuit of justice and respect on and off the field.
