Romina Gaetani, a well-known Argentine actress, has come forward with serious allegations against her ex-boyfriend, Luis Cavanagh, citing incidents of gender violence that prompted her to seek legal action. The turning point occurred on December 28, when the security staff of a country club in Pilar notified the police about a violent situation involving Gaetani and Cavanagh. Upon arriving at the scene, authorities found Gaetani visibly shaken, displaying signs consistent with having been assaulted, which has raised alarm about her safety in the subsequent weeks.

As details emerged, it became clear that Gaetani's allegations involved not just physical but also psychological dimensions of abuse, prompting a significant public response and support from various quarters. On a recent episode of America TV’s DDM, journalist Martín Candalaft revealed that the prosecutor involved has taken steps to officially request Cavanagh's arrest, indicating that the legal system is taking these claims seriously. This request has heightened the attention on the broader issue of gender-based violence in Argentina, encouraging other victims to come forward.

Gaetani stated, "I am very unwell, I do not feel safe," reflecting the psychological toll on victims and highlighting the urgent need for protective measures and support for individuals in danger. The situation underscores the importance of addressing gender violence as a societal issue, amplifying calls for protective legislation and the role of media in fostering awareness about these critical issues in contemporary Argentine society.
