The Isaac Peral Room of the Faculty of Business of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT) has hosted this morning the screening of the documentary 'Girls 24 Hours' by the director Mabel Lozano.
An activity that is part of the program of activities for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, tomorrow, November 25, which has organized the Department of Equality of the City of Cartagena in collaboration with Cepaim Foundation and the UPCT and several collectives.
An act attended by the director herself, the general secretary of the UPCT, Maria del Carmen Pastor, the delegate councilor of Equality, David Martinez, the counselor of Family and Equality of opportunities, Violante Tomás, and the director of Cepaim , Juan Antonio Segura.
The director of the documentary has highlighted the importance of the trajectory of the work, which has gone from being seen by the state security bodies, governments or women's groups, to also be projected in secondary schools and universities thanks to the itinerant exhibition about the Cepaim Foundation documentary.
"The transformative movement we are going to do with young people and in educational centers.
You have to educate, in equality you educate.
Tomorrow is the day against gender violence and trafficking is one of the most perverse forms of gender violence (...) and prostitution and trafficking go hand in hand in our country, "he said.
Precisely the Councilor for Equality, wanted to emphasize the importance of education to end this problem.
"Among the youth there is a rebound of sexist violence (...) so it is very important to approach this young population", something that the council is very aware of and implemented through various programs of awareness among children and teenagers.
This has highlighted the importance of taking this issue in schools, since "if there is no awareness of the problem can not end with it."
Lozano has recently presented his new book, 'El Proxeneta', which continues with his work as an activist against prostitution, a normalized business "that protects a very serious crime of human rights violation and also a multi-million dollar crime."
He also thanked the "Prize November 25 in the fight against gender violence" to be received tomorrow by the Cepaim Foundation of the Ministry of Family and Equal Opportunities, for the joint project being carried out with Mabel Lozano to raise awareness of this problem through the exhibition and talks around 'Chicas 24 horas'.
With it, he has sensitized and provided knowledge and information on protocols and resources against trafficking to more than 4,000 people in his journey through the Region of Murcia since its creation in 2015 and to more than 25,000 people throughout Spain.
NEW GIRLS 24 HOURS
'Chicas 24 horas' is a documentary film, nominated for Goya in its category in 2016, which deals with prostitution from its business perspective.
An economic activity that is immensely profitable due to its minimal cost, low risk and fast profit.
With the thread of a supposed coaching talk about the economic benefits of this business, the testimonies of prostitutes, women who live in environments where prostitution is normalized, members of the forces and security forces that fight against these mafias are presented. or representatives of entities that work with women who suffer or have suffered this scourge.
It seeks to make the viewer aware of the proximity of this problem, more integrated and normalized in society than most people think.
