In the same vein, Minister Alcorta said: “Today we are taking another step that is important, significant, symbolic, not only for women but for all people who move by public transport. Being able to be in the wallets, in the pockets, in the wallets of the Argentines is a great step so that all people in situations of violence know that they are not alone, that we have teams of professionals from the 144 line available 24 hours a day to accompany them”.

In this way, it will take advantage of the space on the back of the SUBE card that will function as an amplifier of the campaign that encourages people to advise themselves in cases of gender violence and thus, from Transport, also fulfills the commitments assumed within the “National Plan of Action against Gender-Based Violence 2020-2022” of the National Government.
