San Juan Nightclub Keeps Controversial Halloween Ad Depicting Woman’s Abduction Online After Apology

Critics say the video trivializes gender violence in a year with 196 femicides reported by MuMaLá.

Overview

  • The Instagram post remains on @quattrocluboficial alongside a flyer linking to ticket sales, and the venue has disabled comments.
  • The clip stages a kidnapping and apparent execution scenario that ends with the captive promoting the October 24 party.
  • Organizers issued an apology acknowledging the piece could be interpreted as endorsing gender violence, yet they did not remove it.
  • The incident echoes recent viral videos in Argentina that present the disappearance or disposal of women as a joke, including a case at a Crespo service station.
  • Authorities have not announced legal or administrative penalties against the venue, leaving potential consequences unresolved.
