They condemned those responsible, a step of #JusticiaPorLucioDupuy
Violence against children is a reality in our country. Let's talk about this and the responsibilities of the adult world.
That it never happen again, never again,"
Mazzina published on her Twitter account. the social network Twitter.

space must be given for public debate, with respect, without more violence

and/or sexual violence against children and adolescents.

we have to deepen prevention,
and as a State, we have a tool that is comprehensive sexual education (ESI) ", he pointed out.
Regarding the "Federal Training Plan of a continuous, permanent and obligatory nature, on the rights of children and adolescents", better known as "Lucio Law", he highlighted: "It has tools that as officials we need to break with the structures cultures that sustain violence".
The initiative was approved in Deputies, and President Alberto Fernandez incorporated it by decree into the extraordinary sessions so that it could be dealt with by the Senate.
"
There is no political color when it comes to violence
. Everyone's support is necessary to achieve structural changes.
Patriarchy is part of the structure of violence.
It is easier to change a norm than a violent culture. It is necessary to change this idea that girls, boys and adolescents are property, when they are subject to rights," concluded the head of the Ministry of Women.
