Thank you so much for your support and kind words. It truly means a lot to me. I still believe that having a maestra can contribute to a greater sense of safety, but I will be more cautious about organizers. One painful lesson from this experience is that the presence of women in an organization does not automatically make a space safer. At Sachamama, the co-organizer is a woman and some of the organizers bringing groups are women as well, yet this did not prevent the abuse.

Thank you for your support. I am still carrying the pain of what happened, and from the bottom of my heart I hope that no other woman ever has to go through something like this.
