Remember the case

In Presidente Prudente (SP), students from a private university were exposed and evaluated in a sexual “ranking” shared in a closed group on a messaging application. The content was leaked and exposed messages of sexual and derogatory content, generating an investigation by the Civil Police. The case was publicized in August.

The students' photos were removed from social media without authorization and distributed on the messaging app. The images were accompanied by offensive comments and ratings with terms such as "delicious", "edible" and "would blow your mind".

In the message group, several students made comments about the "ranking". "I took out the lesbians and the fat ones," said one. “There are some that I disagree with”, pointed out another.

The case, which was registered at the Women's Defense Police Station (DDM), sparked protests with banners and posters in front of the university, located on the banks of the Raposo Tavares Highway (SP-270). The collective “Frente pela Vida das Mulheres” issued a note condemning the episode, classified as “an act of organized misogyny”.

“It's something disgusting, weird. [...] We are completely left floorless”, said one of the university students who had the image displayed. The young woman was alone when she found out and was left feeling helpless.
