The Buenos Aires Minister of Women, Gender Policies and Sexual DiversityEstela Díaz, highlighted this Thursday that “all our development policies revolve around equality as the fundamental axis.”
“Our development policies have work, production, inclusion and the construction of equality as priority axes of our political project. The conjunction and articulation of what we do is fundamental because it strengthens the initiatives that we carry out, and more in a territory as extensive as the province of Buenos Aires,” Diaz said.
The minister made these statements during her visit to the Fifth Region with the aim of presenting the strategic policies for addressing gender-based violence to the authorities and interdisciplinary teams of the gender areas of the municipalities that make up that region.
“We are working with the entire region to improve policies, programs, care devices and registration” Diaz noted.
Then he stressed that they do it “to lower the levels of fragmentation in the interventions, but also to have an increasingly accurate record of the scope and characteristics of the problem of violence. This gives us tools to improve care, intervention , the programs, the policy. And that is possible with a present State, with public investment and with a lot of inter-institutional articulation”.
The Buenos Aires official also opened the cycle “Projecting Feminisms” within the framework of the “Mobile Cinema”at the Abel Santa Cruz municipal theater in Miramar, where the documentary “Mujeres de la Mina” by Malena Bystrowicz and the short film “Aldana y León” directed by María Victoria Andino were screened.

“It is necessary to favor the audiovisual production made by women. It is the right to have the same opportunities. The resistance of women is a transforming resistance of our society,” said Estela Díaz.
He considered that “we are still living with enormous inequalities, gender gaps are still in force at all levels of life and these productions thematize it, address gender violence, economic violence, and how inequalities cross our lives.”
The series of short films and films with a gender perspective, coordinated by the Provincial Directorate of Communication, led by Lucía García Itzigsohn, will take place throughout the year in coordination between the Ministry and the Cultural Institute through the Incaa Cine Móvil program .
