Four years ago I met Mariana
Renis the most intense and passionate girl
that known the first time the
I heard about human trafficking
I said wow I wish one day something
move so much something I became passionate as much as
this topic the passion to her we were going
together in the Iberian in a class at
seven in the morning
this class was called social justice and
it was my favorite class because all the
Tomorrow I kept complaining
justice in mexico
impossible to think about inequality
I thought about poverty despite all these
problems and really I was very
hopeless I thought that these things did not
they had a solution and the truth is that
finishing the class of 7 returned to me
home with my friends to parties and bush
I think I complained a lot but I was
very little
Mariana listened to every morning
complaining and one day out of nowhere without
know without having spoken before me
invited to breakfast and the first thing that
I thought it was today that kid so weird and
then the truth I confess that I
I thrilled a good why I was
going through a difficult time to
make friends then immediately
accept to go to breakfast I figured that
We were going to talk about everything normal
there is music our tastes that we
We were going to meet but in reality
He told me tomorrow that he had to talk
me a very important issue to me
He said that through a foundation
she had met a survivor
of trafficking in persons in its modality of
sexual exploitation that had our
age
she was called sushi and that sushil la
it impacted so much that she said we have to
do something like young people we have to
do something and founded an association to
that other young people knew what is
treats it and we could prevent it
to others on this subject I remember that
invites the first sintra meeting
to remember we were ten
little people and in this meeting he receives me
ana ana is a girl who wanted
study business administration in
the unah and well we began to know each other
the truth made me talk because I
I felt super comfortable with her because I did not
knows anyone from the meeting and then I
The boyfriend told me about the
music
we talked that we liked poetry
we even made a confession that
we had a poetry blog at
philosopher and I believe that already
you’ll imagine a little because he did not have
so many friends and suddenly between friend
Mariana and tells us it’s time to
get a little serious in the meeting
I want to introduce you to someone very
important for the team cintra
is she is surviving exploitation
sexual and today will share
his testimony and I waiting for the
anxious testimony does not and it turns out that from
Suddenly she stopped by ana my friend she was the
testimony and I stay super
shocked because I want to ask you
how do you imagine a victim of
about
I thought of someone who probably
I could not even look you in the eyes
or that I could not talk if I cry or that
I had a lot of pain and suddenly I was
seeing
ana super empowered super good
sharing such a hard topic
sharing like her to her 12 years of
age had been sexually exploited and
occupationally by his stepsister and of
true that day to hear it pass through all
my body I felt a lump in the
stomach in the small emitter throat
the heart and that day allow the
is about people I will cross why
they
Ana’s testimony as a friend does not
as a victim and ana is the reason why
which I’m standing here today
today is free
she is studying finances she goes out with
her friends
is a girl like you and me and
then I started to get involved in the
sintra volunteer to start
know more stories company know
more cases I started to know more
survivors and I realized that the
about people does not discriminate that
many times we think that trafficking
it happens only some people to
more vulnerable and I want to share
with you that a year ago I had the
opportunity to meet sophie hayes
a girl originally from london who
suffers sexual exploitation and she does not
fit with no factor of
common vulnerability did not have a
disintegrated family had no problems
socioeconomic was finishing its
bachelor’s degree but fell in love
I want to ask you how you take care of yourself
fall in love how could you imagine that
the person you most love in the world to
betray you in that way or even
to get to sell you was not exploited
for her boyfriend was actually her trafficker
and you know
his end was an easy or naive kid
nor responsible
she was just very very lonely and her
trying his app he knew how to take advantage of
this
sophie today is free and has a
foundation of help to others and others
survivors like her and then like that
I started getting more and more involved and
more in without trafficking and it grew so much that
we understood that we had to get to
those places where nobody gets where the
information can save a
life and we started to give workshops
preventive in the preventive workshops
we realized that when we talked
with men
they felt it was a problem
totally distant they thought that the
about people was just a matter of
women
and once again we
we have a testimony to tell the
respect
One day a young man came to the foundation
of 16 years his biggest dream was
be a dancer and then he was
cheated through a school where
they promised him that he would be the best
dancer false promises of fame
they brought from his house once he was
with his handlers they shaved him
a wig forced him to dress up
woman and exploited him sexually in
Calzada de Tlalpan and you know it was not
homosexual did not want to be there
I just wanted to do what more
I loved in the world that was dancing yucumo
someone who took advantage of this because
I tell you all these stories because
they are part of the day to day of work
that he does without trafficking today is part of me
work and I want to share how it is that
I got to be here my friend
Mariana received a letter from the
best universities in paris saying
that they had accepted her in her mastery
that meant that Mariana was going to have
to go approximately two years of
Mexico and I remember that I was
working in a marketing company
very father very strawberry
by the way, he studies marketing and
I receive this call where Mariana gives me
the news and suddenly it offers me
work as vice president in sintrat
do not know what this meant to me
because without treating what he loved most
do and really that the agency and already
all the other things that I did as
that hindered me I wanted to continue
involving also remain
workshops continue doing this service
for others and then clearly that
accept but I want to tell you that it was not
a situation not easy for me
family because they dreamed that I
enter the family business and I was the
businesswoman of the year and it was not like that
then today we go through that and
they are my greatest allies
because also
they want to live in a mexico – premiums
fair
I never imagined that I would have the
forces of the heart to fight against
trafficking in persons but every day what
I see as a new opportunity to have
Hope because I think it’s worth it
every second dedicated for a child
and a girl does not fall into a trafficking network
what is worth everything to tell what
passed the life be rescued and I think that
all together we can achieve achieve a
change to be able to have a free Mexico
for all
I want to invite you today to you
passion is what you dare to do
social entrepreneur to be a better
person
a better citizen to that together
let’s build a more understood society
in hope in a purpose because today
it is necessary to restore mexico
thank you very much
and
