The letter, published this Wednesday through Facebook, has the tags #NoesNo, #NoMeCalloMas, #NoTeCallesMas . In it he tells the beginning of his career, his professional training and the entrance to the channel, his dream job, with the consequent humiliations suffered by his body and his way of dressing.

One of Rachid’s activities is ” fitness “, “transformation” a discipline in which he competes and was consecrated runner-up in the “Ironmass Cup” in the category “tall bikini” in 2015, in addition to constantly training for bodybuilding, also known as bodybuilding . “It’s a hobby,” he said of it. “My job is time,” he finished in an interview with a local media.

Here is the complete letter:

In 2011 I started to give the weather forecast in InfoClima with the beloved Carlos Eschoyez, who -noticing my imprint- made me enter Channel 10, from where I put all my aptitude to grow.

With each passing day I liked what I did more; reason why – in spite of having received me in the careers of “Film Production” and “Locution” -, I took this part of my preparation as a challenge; It was so that I began to prepare and I think I learned a lot … I learned to read satellite maps and other elements to take into account in order to produce the content of the meteorological material.-

In my work and profession I never received sanctions, complaints or questions regarding my performance as a weather presenter … so I know that I did my job very well and that makes me proud …

Now, having expressed and defending myself from the series of facts that I brought to the attention of Justice, criticism, signs, grievances, complaints and questions come from some people, not for my work but for my way of dressing, for my body and for the fact of my clothing.-

Since yesterday that my complaint came out in the media, I have lived and live the most horrible comments I heard and read about a person, and with much pain I see that they fell on me !!!

All these comments are directly related and based on the way I dress, on my physical appearance, anyway … on the way I am … He clarified to everyone that I always dressed like this and I never did it for the sake of that “was on television” … – The clothing I use and use was and always will be my fashion, the clothes I like to wear …….

Since when the way of dressing discredits a person or a good professional work?

Since when the devaluation, the comments and the series of “titles” that “to wear those clothes harass me … or … if he is a” cat “as he dresses ….. they can have a Sufficient identity so that I have to “bear or access certain requests to continue working in my profession and activity …?

Parallel to my work on television, everyone knows that another activity that I develop is “fitness” …, also reading and listening: “… he looks like a male” … “he has muscles like a male”. …

I know many muscleless men, and no one tells them they look like females or females …..

Today I decided to stop talking … I could not stand before so many offenses to keep quiet …

I can no longer -because of the devaluation of my person, continue in silence …. I could no longer face the constant harassment of some people who played with my need for work, keep quiet and access their express claims to be able to work in a television medium , no matter how much love I have for my activity and profession.

My love for who I am and for my profession WILL NOT ALLOW me to put aside my personal respect as a woman and as a person of good …..

I do not give my body or give sexual favors for a job or for anything in the world !!!!!

Now, if by my way of dressing, by my physique and by my activity they believe that “harassing me is part or consequence of it” I am sorry for those who think so !!!!

Many women these days gave me strength to encourage me to tell how ugly I lived and was living right now. After almost 7 years of working on Channel 10, I banked these guys in many and countless situations of innuendo, ridicule, inappropriate and indecent comments towards me where due to my need for work I only had to duck my head, swallow, wait for it to happen. the anguish and to continue … Countless were the times that I returned to my house crying, feeling humiliated, submitted and without exit.

I just had to dry my tears and continue to endure unhappy days at work that I had enjoyed so much in its early days.

Some will ask me why I did not speak before … If without having made any complaint I heard and read terrible lies towards myself, imagine if you encouraged me to tell what I was living!

I am hurt by the lack of understanding of many women, and the lack of empathy of many men … but in turn I am strengthened by the support of the people around me and who know me, and those women who dared to say #NoEsNo and no matter when you do it, do it !!! #NoTeCallesMas

I know that all kinds of comments will come after this letter, I ask that before making a comment, think a little and put in my place those women who surely once went through something similar.

It is painful to lose a job, and even more so if it is what you like to do and what you consider yourself suitable for.

I don’t know how my life will continue from today, I just feel a great relief … I feel that I did the right thing, as I could and when I could, but I did it!

I feel like a stronger woman, and sure that this will never happen to me again. I know who I am, I know what I am worth, and those who are by my side do not need any explanation, that is my tranquility.

I make this letter since I cannot make statements because there is a complaint in the way … but my followers, and the general public of channel 10 and people in general deserve to hear my voice … they deserve to know who I am and not judge me for my appearance, which for this society fits – it is seen – in stereotypes with which I do not feel identified. For a moment forget about my shorts, my tops, my body … look at me like an ordinary woman, who can be your sister, your daughter, your girlfriend, your friend, etc … who is raising her xq voice reached a limit.

Today without work, rethinking my future, I know that I will get to the end with this … for me, for you and for everyone …

“The truth is powerful because it heals …”

The truth appears only when we dare to speak it … ”
