The Government’s deputy delegate in Lugo, Olimpia López, today called for “a comprehensive response that combines prevention, protection of victims and prosecution of crimes to advance the eradication of trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation.” He did so during the inauguration of the day “Treats 2.0. The digital medium as a facilitator of recruitment for exploitation”, organized by the Unit of Violence on Women, together with the social action platform Diaconia.
In her speech, Olimpia López highlighted the work of the different security forces and professional teams, “a work that is often discreet and not always visible, but absolutely essential to guarantee an effective, safe and human response to the victims.” In addition, the subdelegate highlighted the “constant commitment of the Government of Spain for the elimination of trafficking and respect for human rights, as well as the accompaniment of victims and their protection”.
The event featured the presentation of Camila Navarrete, social worker and professional specialized in community social work and social intervention, migration, prevention of trafficking and awareness of the different forms of violence and exploitation, with special attention to the risks associated with the digital environment.
Navarrete is an awareness and prevention technique in the area of Women and Fight Against Trafficking in Diaconia, with a comprehensive, intersectional and feminist approach, which addresses the connections between trafficking, digital sexual violence and the narratives that support them.
Finally, the subdelegate also wanted to thank all the people present at the event for their participation and assistance, to whom she questioned, saying: “Trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation is not a private problem. It is a collective, profound and structural challenge, and one of the most extreme forms of male violence and an unquestionable violation of human rights. In fact, this type of violence requires a comprehensive response that combines prevention, protection of victims and prosecution of crimes to advance its eradication.”
