Within the framework of Pride Week, a workshop organized by the Human Rights Coordination of the Municipality of Concordia was held. The training took place at the Civic Center and arose as a proposal from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) (UN), with the support of the MigraCiudades Department.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is part of the United Nations System. It is an intergovernmental organization that since 1951 has promoted humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all, with 175 Member States and a presence in more than 100 countries. The IOM has had a presence in Argentina since 1953.
José Moreno, a member of the IOM, explained that the workshop is part of what is “the capacity building that we are carrying out with the different municipalities of the country, which were part of the Migraciudades program and in which Concordia participated during 2023 and during this year”.
On this occasion, with the theme of Gender and Diversity, he added that they had the participation of Lu Roda, from the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. “She has already been working on these issues, she has a lot of experience in this matter and we at the IOM always try to have specialized people,” mentioned Moreno.
The central objective of the training is to raise awareness regarding Gender issues and also to provide related theoretical tools but with a local focus.
“The idea is to see how the Municipality of Concordia is working, to know what problems, what scope or objectives they have achieved in order to carry out a diagnosis in relation to the subject,” concluded the IOM representative.
