she made her debut in the music industry in 1995, but she became known to a wider audience only 7 years later, taking 2nd place in the 1st edition. She currently has three studio albums to her credit, including the recently released album “Mariposa”, which ended her almost two-decade long break. She promotes it with seven singles such as “Sama na planetie”, “Zakochana” and “Panno Chłod”. It is this last song that is connected with a story she experienced when she was still a teenager.
After 19 years, Ewelina Flinta has released her third album. One of the songs refers to her traumatic experience from her youth.
The singer has never hidden the fact that it is easiest for her to write about her own experiences. This was also the case with the song “Panno Chłod”, about . In an interview with Plejada, she revealed that this topic is particularly close to her, because she experienced it first-hand. She was 16 when she and her friends decided to hitchhike home. However, she did not anticipate what happened a moment after getting into a car with two strange men. “Our bus did not come, it was the middle of the day, there were three of us, so we decided to hitchhike back. We were convinced that nothing bad would happen to us. We stopped a car with two guys in it. We sat in the back and only when we started driving did we smell alcohol on them,” she recounted.
They felt uncomfortable, so they unanimously decided to get off earlier than originally planned. However, the driver was unfazed. – After driving five kilometers, we asked them to stop. They started laughing, she said, adding that then she started to get really scared. – They didn’t want to let us go. We begged to be dropped off. They didn’t care about it, she said. Then one of her friends impulsively opened the car door. – Only when my friend opened the door did they slow down. Then we jumped out of the moving car and into the street. And they were screaming for us, she said, emphasizing that although no one was hurt, “the ending could have been tragic.”
Ewelina Flinta spoke bitterly about the services’ approach to victims of sexual violence. She didn’t bite her tongue
The star openly stated that today she would not act as recklessly as she did then. She admitted that she regretted not thinking about writing down the license plate numbers, because then she could have reported the matter to the police. However, she does not hide the fact that at that time women’s rights were disregarded not only by the services, but also by society, and perhaps it was this awareness that made it not seem an obvious step to her. – Women’s rights are human rights. Each of us should be able to decide for ourselves. And in our country, all this is played out politically. It shouldn’t look like this, she emphasized.
At the same time, she expressed regret at the way victims of sexual violence are treated when they approach the services with such a sensitive topic. – Many people, including politicians, still say things like: she asked for it by wearing such a short skirt – noted Flinta, adding that it was unthinkable for her. – This is absurd! After all, it’s always the perpetrator’s fault, regardless of the circumstances, she said. If you feel like it, vote in our poll below.
Sexual violence is any unwanted sexual contact. According to UNICEF, around 15 million teenage girls between the ages of 15 and 19 have experienced this type of violence worldwide, but only 1 percent of them seek professional help. Studies show that 80 percent of rape victims develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
If you are a victim of sexual violence, you can get help by calling, for example, the “Niebieska Linia” Telephone Clinic – 22 668 70 00 (7 days a week, 8 a.m. – 8 p.m.) or the 24-hour emergency telephone number of the Women’s Rights Center – 600 070 717.
