MP against pedophilia
He questioned the role of the media, advertising and globalization in the increasingly premature eroticization and objectification of the person. “Have you seen children’s beauty pageants with five-year-old girls, many of whom don’t even know how to walk properly yet? The current music content? They are atrocities, but it is what monetizes and gives millions of dollars to companies like Spotify or YouTube. That reaches schools and high schools”, questioned the senior official.
Saab proposed to establish a technical table to coordinate strategies that help in the prevention of sexual abuse of children and adolescents; as well as drug use and bullying. He stressed that the campaign must be permanent. He proposed leaving a technical table installed that presents strategies for this last quarter of the year and the beginning of 2023.
Also present at the meeting were the presiding magistrate of the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice, Lourdes Suárez; the Minister of People’s Power for Culture, Ernesto Villegas; the Minister of Popular Power for Education, Yelitze Santaella and the Ombudsman, Alfredo Ruiz. The content was delivered to some 500 educators.
