Shame for the shamed, a piece of Spanish history (and more)

SPAIN/Andalucía Our good friend Sancho has posted an item on his very good site, Tilting At Windmills, that is illustrated by the photo (l.) and starts like this: "The wives, mothers and sisters of the “rojos” during the Spanish Civil War had their heads shaved, were insulted and humiliated. In the majority of cases it was not anonymous members of Franco’s forces that committed these outrages but their neighbours who up till then they had considered their friends. In Andalucía the provinces of Cádiz, Sevilla and Huelva saw these acts carried out first, they were repeated later in Málaga and Almería. Now the regional government has carried out a measure to recognise these humiliated women." That recognition is well worth reading about: The Price of Humiliation and Rape.
