In fact, said the Argentinian writer and feminist Claudia PiñeiroI thought that the novel of a trigger: a girl falling from a building. This girl named JulianaIt’s a escort VIP that has been launched or launched and is an essential part of The death of others (Alfaguara), his new novel which now studies the exploitation of women in the 21st century and in the relationship between power and prostitution During post -Truth.
“Everything that has to do with sex work remains a very open discussion, even within feminism. There are abolitionist women who are totally against sexual work and believe that all sex work is trafficking, and there is another group of women who say that it is not so and asks for regulations, that women who exercise sexual work have rights and are protected”, says the narrator.
The scriptwriter and the playwright as said as in Latin America We are closer to the regulations. “We understand much more the situation of a woman who must go to sex work or who arrives at sex work because she decides.”

He wonders that the problem is always analyzed from the point of view of women, but not of men who hire these services, and that the look that the judges concern these women. Consequently, in the death of others, explores the question of death that questions us and others that seem foreign to us. As is the case with the death of an escort or a prostitute, which is much easier to make it foreign, society loses its interest and death ends up disappearing and you never know if there is justice.
He opted for a journalist protagonist named Verónica Balda, who had not thought about it and did not make a decision on this subject. “They ask us all to have a position taken with regard to all the problems and there are problems that we want to continue to discuss. At any time, I tried that the novel did not judge Juliana, who is the girl who exercises prostitution, but judge, in any case, what was done to him, is the victim of the crime.”
On problems, in addition to sex work, discuss feminism, Piñeiro says that one of the main ones is how we summarize this feeling that they want to implement over all men, which we have claimed too much. “In my country, we have obtained the law of abortion and it seems that all the ailments of the country are because we have distracted ourselves in the realization of the law on abortion, they say:” The government has been distracted from the questions and has not resolved, by the law of abortion “.

He says that feminism today is considered to be a toxic spot and a bad word and that the evils of humanity is because women demand rights. “There are a lot of bass birth campaigns and they say that women are the culprits, because we use the contraceptives, because we cannot get pregnant, because we can abortion. There is a lot of campaign so that the woman returns to her old state, stay at home and take care of their children. They ask to come back from what we get.”
Piñeiro says that reality is that women think that we must still get more and that we do not have an equal foot with men. “We have done a lot, but we cannot say that we are in the equality plan; they want to believe that we are coming. In Argentina, they say:” Three villages have been passed. “No, we do not arrive three peoples, we have just started to obtain rights which we miss and others are missing,” he said.
He quotes a sentence from Simone de Beauvoir who says: “A religious, political or economic crisis will never be missing that removes the rights we have acquired.” Piñeiro, attack: “You must be attentive; It seems that we have already arrived, they have already admitted that we deserve it and that they will not win, but there are setbacks, like those who have occurred in the United States or in their country, Argentina, which at that time nothing weighs.
“No problem that should neither do with science or to education or with culture unfortunately weigh for the government of my country. Of course, in the population, our population has come to the street whenever universities are attacked, whenever LGBT groups are attacked, women. We will stop doing it, ”he concludes.
