The lack of protocol for informing chemical submission victims about their own sexual assaults
By
Domitila Diez
Summary
This article examines the lack of a specific protocol for informing victims of gender-based violence that they have been drugged and raped when they have no memory of the assault. It focuses on the case of Tamara Fernández Varela, who was drugged and raped by her husband for years and only learned about the assaults through a court letter containing photos of the attacks. The piece discusses how security forces and the justice system currently rely on general guides for trauma-informed interviewing, combined with empathy and common sense, to communicate such devastating information to victims of chemical submission.
