translated from Spanish: Micaela Law: Mendoza seeks to adhere to the national standard

An initiative was presented in the Chamber of Deputies that proposes that Mendoza adhere to Law 27.499 (“Micaela Law”). It establishes a series of trainings “in the theme of gender and violence against women, for all human persons who serve in the civil service at all levels and hierarchies, regardless of the form of designation and status of the herself.” The legislative piece, which is british by Meputt Tamara Salomón (UCR) together with the signatures of Cecilia Rodríguez, Maricel Arriaga and Marcela Fernández; “Violence against women is a social shame and a violation of fundamental human rights” is fundamental. The project calls for gender-based training and violence against women, but in turn, urges trade unions and/or groups with trade union representation of public sector workers, or with activity in the public sector, to “promote, facilitate and actively participate in such a way that all public officials are covered and achieved by this mandatory training process.” In addition, the Directorate of Gender and Diversity of the Province of Mendoza (or the body to replace it) is designated to be the implementing authority. Similarly, the National Institute of Women, through the implementing authority, will certify the quality of the trainings that each agency develops and implements within six (6) months of the entry into force of this accession. It is also established, in the project, that “a publicly accessible website” should be developed, on which a report on compliance with the standard sits should be published annually (on 30 December each year). Finally, it provides that if the implementing authority requests information and the provision of data regarding compliance with this standard, the three provincial and affiliated municipalities must provide them in accordance with Law 9.070 on Access to Provincial Information.Meanwhile, the rule presented by Solomon recalls that “Law 27.499 was sanctioned at the end of 2018 and is named after Micaela García, a 21-year-old who was a student in the group Movimiento Evita de Gualeguay, Entre Ríos”. He adds that the young woman “went out one night to dance and they never saw her again. After seven days of intense searching, she was found dead. Micaela was the victim of one of the 295 femicides recorded in 2017. Sebastian Wagner, 30, was sentenced to life in prison. This project is already discussed in the Social Development Committee of the Lower House and awaits dispatch for soon treatment in the premises. In this note:
