Stephanie Vaquer, the current WWE Women’s World Champion, shared a heartfelt message on Instagram Stories this past Sunday, marking International Women’s Day with a mix of celebration and personal reflection. Addressing her own experience underscored the importance of speaking out against abuse, particularly domestic violence.
In her post, Vaquer wrote,
“This Women’s Day, a huge hug to all women, especially those who, like me, spoke up and reported despite fear and threats,”
followed by,
“He is still free, but I am still alive, and I will keep fighting for the truth and justice until the end.”
Background on Vaquer’s Legal Fight Against Domestic Violence
Vaquer’s message refers to a criminal case she initiated in March 2023, when she filed charges against El Cuatrero, a fellow wrestler and former partner, accusing him of domestic violence. Following her complaint, El Cuatrero was arrested and charged with attempted murder and domestic violence related to the incident.
Despite his arrest, El Cuatrero was released from custody later that year. Vaquer’s public statement emphasizes her continued commitment to seeking justice, reflecting the ongoing challenges she faces amidst the legal proceedings.
Encouraging Other Women to Speak Out
By sharing her story on an international observance recognizing women’s struggles and achievements, Vaquer encouraged others facing similar difficult situations to stand up and report abuse. Her resolve to pursue truth underscores the importance of persistence in domestic violence cases, especially when perpetrators remain free.
