Letters to the Editor: Spanish women players are leading the charge on sexual violence

One reader applauds the World Cup winners who are standing their ground, while others consider topics including road safety, the cost-of-living crisis, drugs, and sex education 

Even as Jennifer Hermoso, middle right, and her team-mates celebrated beating England to win the Fifa Women’s World Cup final, Spanish football federation chief Luis Rubiales, left, grabbed her and kissed her on the mouth. Picture: Isabel Infantes/PA

Grabbing a woman, who is not consenting, by her head, and kissing her on the lips is a sexual assault. It is not misogyny per se, although that is part of the problem.

The bigger problem is violence against women and sexual violence against women. The ‘taking of women’ in sexual ways without her consent.
