In the Assembly Hall of the Municipality of Concordia, a training session was held on “Prevention, Protection and Assistance to Victims and Witnesses of Human Trafficking,” a proposal carried out by the Government Secretariat of the Municipality of Concordia through the Human Rights Coordination and the support of the Provincial Council for the Prevention, Protection and Assistance to Victims and Witnesses of Human Trafficking.
The documentary “Our revenge is to be happy” was screened, where Sonia Sánchez, an activist and survivor of human trafficking and sexual exploitation, told her life story with the premise of “deconstructing gender stereotypes and the extractivism of bodies.”
Mayor Francisco Azcué expressed his satisfaction with the work carried out within the framework of public policies on awareness, human trafficking, and gender-based violence. Likewise, he highlighted the importance of coordinating actions between the Municipality and the Government of the Province of Entre Ríos.
“We are talking about an extremely complex multicausal problem, and the first thing we must do to find the path and improve things is to address the issue and stop hiding it, just like drug trafficking, human trafficking, and many other problems,” indicated Azcué, who also pointed out that these are issues that must be brought to the table and worked on so that our society does not continue to suffer the damage caused by those who carry out these types of criminal practices from the shadows.
For her part, the coordinator of the Provincial Council for the Prevention, Protection and Assistance to Victims and Witnesses of Human Trafficking, Silvina Calveyra, valued “the municipality's commitment to working on these issues that exist and of which any of us can be a victim. We must not look the other way because we are also part of this problem, which is a social issue,” she warned.
It should be noted that the training on “Prevention, Protection and Assistance to Victims and Witnesses of Human Trafficking” was declared of municipal interest. Mayor Azcué presented the project to the speaker, Sonia Sánchez.
Present were the Secretary of Government Luciano Dell'Olio; councilwoman Eliana Lagraña; the Coordinator of Human Rights, Gender and Diversity Silvina Perillo; and the coordinator of the Women's Area of Los Charrúas, Victoria Alegre.
