Attacks on women at the running of the bulls festival in Pamplona continue despite efforts to clamp down.

BBC News, Pamplona

The case inspired widespread anger and protests against sexual assault laws in Spain after the men were originally only found guilty of sexual abuse. They were eventually convicted of rape in 2019. The "wolf pack" case, which contributed to an overhaul of sexual assault legislation in Spain, led authorities in Pamplona to clamp down on all forms of sexual assault - physical and verbal - during the festival.

The regional government of Navarre has led a poster and video campaign against sexual assault featuring local role models - the singer Kutxi Romero, the Basque pelota player Unai Laso and the footballer Aimar Oroz.Local celebrities have appeared on posters campaigning against acts of violence at the festival"If you make a complaint you are listened to - before, you wouldn't get listened to, the problem was not visible and so it could get covered up," said Maite.

In the morning bull run, six bulls and six tame bullocks are released onto the streets and they gallop through Pamplona's old town, as participants run ahead of or alongside the animals, until they reach the bullring. The bulls are killed in bullfights held every evening.
