Last Tuesday, 16 the daily Clarín released that deputies of the Argentine coalition "Together for Change" proposed the Arejo Law project, which extends to broaden the scope of the "Micaela Law", for all state staff to receive training on violence "from a gender diversity perspective and not just women"

The "Micaela Act" is a mandatory training in the theme of gender and violence against women for all members of the three branches of the government. It was the result of the social mobilization following the death of the teenager Micaela Garcia in 2017 and generated demands for state agencies in gender biased perspective training.

The new Arejo Law project is named after Alejandro Alejo Oroño, the 22-year-old who died after being stabbed in the chest by his partner Nadia Navarro (picture below). Both were parents of a 18-month-old girl, and Alejandro had already reported domestic violence by Nadia, however, authorities did not take it.

Some media opposed this, such as the case of Revista y Editorial Sudestada, who claims that this proposal would hinder women's complaints, and advances from the Micaela Act. Clearly this is a lie, because what is proposed is an extension of this law and not an elimination of it. just like gay marriage don't ban heterosexual marriage.
