When one door closes another opens and that is precisely what happened to Irina Baeva. After her conference was canceled during the What a Woman event, the Russian actress received the invitation to give her talk at an event on female empowerment that took place this Thursday in the city of Miami.

I fell in love with a separate man who honestly told me that the only thing that linked him to his partner was a role, so we both decided to start a relationship and that's where I became the worst demon

Before the watchful eye of dozens of people, mostly women, the 27-year-old interpreter addressed topics such as gender prejudice and cyberbullying suffered by the protagonist of soap operas such as Vino el amor after confirming her engagement with Gabriel Soto during her applauded conference. when he had not yet legally divorced Geraldine.

"Irina has undoubtedly been a super-inspirational talk, I don't know if many of the people who are here have perceived or have read or seen how this woman who is an actress … Did they notice the accent? She speaks more Mexican than a chilango. And she is a woman who went to Mexico 6 years ago, 6 years ago she did not know how to speak Spanish, she did not know anything about Spanish, so this is an example of tenacity. And I think that for all of us, men and women, it leaves us a great lesson, a lesson that no one deserves to be singled out for anything and when we have that sign we must move forward, "said the panelist of the Television Drop the soup (Telemundo), Luis Alfonso Borrero, who was the presenter of the event.

Here we reproduce part of the speech that Irina gave in her conference:

I fell in love with a separated man who honestly told me that the only thing that united him to his partner was a role, so both of us, eye to eye, decided to start a relationship and that's where I became the worst demon. What happened after? Well, he continued being the same man, nobody told him anything, there were no personal consequences, no consequences in his work, but I became an easy one, a prostitute, a homebreaker, a robber-husband … People insulted me so much on social networks that I had to close my comments, my direct messages, more than anything for my emotional well-being and mental health. I believe that no one in this life is prepared to receive negative comments, none of us like to be called 'fat', 'ugly', anything like that; but mine was another level. They were taunts, insults, attacks towards me, towards my family, even translated into Russian so that they could reach my mother. They were even death threats”.

"People do not care if they know what they are talking about or not, they think they know and that is much more than enough for some to express themselves in your favor or against you. And I am telling you all this because I am sure that all the women present here at some point in their lives have faced some type of humiliation, ridicule, prejudice, criticism, whether on social networks or not. And if you don't consider yourselves really lucky. I know how it feels. Imagine my thing was thousands and thousands of negative messages for a long time, so I lost the little or much security that I had, the confidence in myself, I really allowed all those opinions that people expressed on social networks to crush and turn off my inner voice, distort my reality completely. I really didn't even know who I was anymore, doubting that if the things that were happening were right or wrong, I just got lost. I didn't know where I was standing."

“Really, as they say, everything in this life happens and with the passage of time, giving time to time, resisting to a certain extent with the support of my close people, my family, my partner, my friends, I finally managed to give Turning the page, I finally managed to sit down to analyze what happened, accept my reality, my mistakes, my successes and start to rebuild my security, my self-esteem, the confidence I lost in myself and really move forward with the head up knowing that things do happen for something but not for that you can allow someone to trample or humiliate you without any mercy and above all without knowing you”.

“Today, the only thing I can say to all those people who at some point invested their valuable time in insulting me is to thank them because those people made me who I am today and, furthermore, made me realize all the problems that we have in our society, such as the role of women in society. Because let's be honest if in my situation, I had been the woman of commitment and the single man, in any case the bad of the film would have been me for the simple fact of being a woman because in society there are too many prejudices regarding our gender and because the woman is not allowed the slightest mistake because, let's accept it , when a man goes out with many women he is a lover, but when a woman goes out with several men it is an easy; when a man gives everything in his work they say passionate but to a woman how we say, intense; When a man gets angry or goes out of his way we say that you have to respect him because he shows authority, but when a woman does exactly the same thing we say that she is hysterical and is more likely to be in her day. Why is the topless photo of a woman censored but the man's nipples are not? And here is the cherry on the cake, why an unfaithful man sometimes even applauds and a woman is crucified."

And it is not only comparative with men but it is also comparative with ourselves, women, that if we dress and put on makeup then we cannot be feminists because we are false and we see ourselves as objects, but if we do not fix and do not we put on makeup so we are not feminine; that if we do not work maintained, that if we work 'neglect homes'; that if we do not go out with anyone withered, that if we go out with all whores. Really how tired it is to try to satisfy everyone. To see beautiful women and to see who can focus on achieving their dreams in this way and that is why I tell you, Eva, let's be more feminists. I'm talking about true feminism, which is not an antonym of machismo nor is it pretending to want to be more than men. The true feminism for me is to enjoy the simple fact of being a woman with all its advantages, but always demanding equal treatment in all aspects of life. Let's see what If you like to dress up and you like to put on makeup, it's perfect and if you don't want to pierce your ears or don't want to wear the mini bikini, that's fine, not because we do one thing or another, it means that we're more or less women. It also means understanding that if a person decides to live her life in one way or another even if that way does not seem to you or you do not share it, she is still a person who deserves respect. It also means understanding that the same actions should not be judged from different points of view than if a man did them. Let's look for a true gender equality, to see that the jobs are for the most qualified and not for a gender quota. That is what true feminism truly represents to me: being recognized with the same value and the same rights, but above all practicing respect and eliminating all the prejudices that label us just for being a woman.”
