Antonia Balsalobre *, a member of the Shalom Bait team, recounts her journey through the institution.
"I joined the professional staff of Shalom Bait in 2005, invited to the project by my best friend and colleague Diana Vernaz, moved by the opportunity to work with girls and boys. At that time I was living my motherhood of my only son who At that time I was 3. The experience in working with girls and boys victims of family violence changed the perspective of my work on the subject, made my practice more sensitive and crossed my subjectivity. At that time, the NiUnaMenos women's political movement had not yet born, but the issue of gender violence from various non-governmental organizations grew, and the murders of women victims of violence were also beginning to become visible.
In the team we always accompany each other from the gender, from the respect, the joy of shared work and affection. Affection has been the ally. Sharing the horror and pain of many women, many life stories, with the certainty of working strengthened in our own solidarity. In 2008 I left Shalom and circulated professionally in other spaces. I lived, I grew up. I kept training myself. But I always felt close to the institution. In mid-2015 they called me to work there again. It was a great joy to meet again with those colleagues, to meet others that I did not know and share that work space, knowledge, commitment and multidiscipline.
From that moment I am still here. Working, studying and sharing. The task sustains us and our activism on the subject enriches it. The intention is to receive each woman victim of gender violence who approaches Shalom Bait, accompanying her with professionalism, the experience of so many years and the shared struggle for respect and fulfillment of women's rights. "
* Graduated in Psychology, specialized in Gender Violence, she coordinates mutual aid groups for women victims of gender violence in shalom bait. She works in parallel at the "Diana Staubli" Center for Women and Gender Policies, run by Vicente López.
