The collective of Argentine Actresses repudiated, through its social networks, the appointment of Juan Manzur as head of the Cabinet of the Nation, due to the gender inequality that occurs in the province of Tucumán, where until these last days the official governed. From Argentine Actresses we express our repudiation of the appointment of Juan Manzur as Chief of Ministers of the Nation, a cabinet where gender inequality stands out.
The movement of women and diversities fights against the horror and non-compliance with laws that devastate the lives of girls, women and diversities,” the collective said in a statement. And he added: “This list of cases (all in Tucumán, territory of Manzur and which is also a declared enemy of women, diversities and children) should embarrass those who govern us and call themselves “feminists””.

Referring to the acts against women that took place in the province governed by Manzur, Argentine Actresses commented: “Belén, imprisoned for a SPONTANEOUS abortion. Lucia, an 11-year-old girl who was forced to give birth by the provincial government. Cecilia Ousset, a tocoginecologist who has been criminally denounced and persecuted for performing an abortion on the 11-year-old girl. Paola Tacacho, murdered after having reported to the Tucuman police. Fátima Aparicio, victim of a femicide, after the Tucumán police refused to take her complaint. Lupe, a victim of abuse, fraud, threats by political power and the police, begs to be removed from Tucumán while her life is at risk.” What does it mean that both President Alberto Fernández and Vice President Cristina Fernández agree on the name of JUAN MANZUR, for social organizations, for feminisms and for collective organizations that protect children? We demand that the State guarantee the rights won by women and diversities. With decisions like this, we are far from having ended the Patriarchate, Mr. President,” concluded the statement released on the collective’s Instagram account.
