We participated in the 2nd Meeting: Work Table "Sexual abuse of children and adolescents in Argentina" in Annex 2 of the Chamber of Deputies. Colleagues from various provinces participated by zoom, among other things, the proposal arose that the venue for an upcoming meeting was held outside of CABA and Buenos Aires The meeting is already beginning to have a federal character.
The objective of these meetings is to collectively design strategies that promote good intersectoral practices for addressing sexual abuse, from a rights, gender and intersectional perspective.
In this meeting, 4 work commissions were organized: Communication, Technique (investigation and training), Legislation and Access to Justice.
Fernanda Tarica and Diana Rosenhek, director and coordinator of the legal area of Shalom Bait, respectively, promised to participate in the Technical and Access to Justice commission.
Some of the phrases that circulated yesterday in the Chamber of Deputies were:
We have laws, however, they are not enough to provide protection to children.
Access to justice is unequal.
We need a closer justice, to be able to accompany the pain of these families.
It is necessary that the sexual abuse of children and adolescents has greater visibility, it is little talked about, and the media do a bad treatment of the problem.
The professional associations are the ones who establish the intervention guidelines, they are the ones who determine the steps to follow, from the desk...
The problem in the provinces is very serious, there are no teams.
Many situations come to us and we can't cope. We channel the situations and refer to places that can accompany, there are few such places and they are also saturated by demand.
Begin to ask what are the objective tests? who determines them? How are they read?
It is necessary to have trained teams, not only in abuse, it is important that they have a gender perspective.
The sexual abuse of children in the context of gender violence requires a specific approach, otherwise the mother and the children are re-victimized. Mothers are accused of making false accusations to get revenge and children are left without protection.
It is necessary to make the results of the processes public, to know how many defendants are convicted, to analyze the process and the sentences to assess whether they had a gender bias.
Those who carry out the cases do not have training. Children and mothers are revictimized. Children are subjected to recurring inquiries, with biased evaluations, without considering the times and moments of the victims.
"I am a victim of vicarious violence, I was a victim of gender-based violence and related femicide. My ex-partner murdered my son and then committed suicide. I did not have assistance from the CIM, I did not find trained professionals. I am organizing an observatory."
"The problem in the judicial system is not training, what they don't do is because they don't want to. I don't think they don't do it because they don't know. You can't question someone who doesn't want to be questioned. We have to see how to deconstruct the ideology patriarchy of those who make up the spaces of power in the judicial system." Diana Rosenheck.
The ASI must be an imprescriptible crime, as long as it is not, the state is indebted to the victims.
"ASI survivors do not have psychological assistance and there is no gender perspective in their judicial approach. There is a petition on change.org so that the crime of ASI does not prescribe. There are already 80,000 signatures. Let's add more signatures!!" https ://chng.it/XH4gTY4G5C, Thelma Fardin
