Romper el Silencio | Adriana MiIlanés | TEDxTijuana


we are living now a time

current extreme violence

we have listened and we have seen in the

television on the radio and in newspapers

children found in suitcases lying on

the channel raped women beaten

battered children who have been

beaten and abused violated by their

own parents

obviously this has caused them the

death today I want to invite you

to break the silence to make that voice of

those who could not do it or

they do not know how to do I did not have the

least idea I’m sincere ten years ago

years when my daughter was five years old

my first daughter

obviously I wanted to be in all his

activities

I got involved in school and obviously

me as a mom and a new mom who does not

I did or wanted for my children

how many here are parents and

we know what I ‘m saying no

we do everything for our children

well, when my daughter was in the

in the in the preschool

the father the director of the school all

the days that greets me about average

days ago Milanese

when I have time to talk with me

to know a home

yes father when you tell me but then

in the coming and going for the girl we were

time passed and so days went by and

it took weeks and it was always the

Same question or same same

greeting good morning for milan is

when you have time to know a

home house love you you know

that day he grabbed me in the five minutes

that changed my life for life and I

says father and I came to that home

here in tijuana and the first thing that I

enfrento is with 100 children of all

ages of crib up to 16 years old and I

they let alone to the group home in

a pretty big home

obviously they were not typical

howard is that at least I thought it was a

ugly sad home house smelled bad and

obviously the children were

neglected there were only five women

has taken care of these 100 children and I

I went for a walk to walk and my heart

it was getting louder and louder when I was going

finding what I was seeing in the

way and when he came to the area of

cuneros I am shocked to see that the children

they were trellised turned around and nobody came

behind me and my heart was still

beating a thousand per hour

suddenly I see two little girls 23 years old

with sexual activity an activity

sexual that believe me that neither adults

he does it and that for me / in a chop and

I ran out and left in terror

because I could not believe what I was

well when it arrived and I find the

director of the home

I asked him what he was

happening here where they have brought me or

who were these people and what did

He said that they were child victims of

sexual abuse

Oh my life changed, I tell you

I honestly did not have the slightest idea

of what I was facing and a lot

less was what I had planned in

my life

from there I spoke with a group of

friends companions of my whole life since

the kindergarten and I told them I know that

many of you have invited them to

participate in donations for homes

taking him clothes food food be

toys but these kids were

lacking in love so lacking in

Psychological attention

today I am convinced that

if we take care of those children the

tomorrow we will take care of

they

this is how an organization emerges

civil to whom tijuana that this next

On November 7 we turned nine

years working on the prevention of

child sexual abuse

I took on the task of knowing the 355

homes that are here in Tijuana and

it’s exactly the same in everything

the home is the disintegration

the familiar domestic violence

sexual abuse prostitution the

drug addiction treats her and suicide is

a circle that follows in each of the

houses work

we are dedicated to giving talks

workshops all for free we go to

all schools and and schools

organizations where they invite us to give

these talks and he called them the

psychological and legal attention without

no cost

everyone asks me and tells me in

when they see me how do you do as you

can divide in so many because I’m

dental surgeon as he said right now

presenter and I just finished the

law career

precisely for the same reason because I have

many friends who came with me

when I started this organization and I

they said I help you I support you when

you get fresh and when you really get

offered everyone were busy

they were all with their activities I said

you know that I can not continue like this and everything

to take the reins I clear that the

tomorrow I want to be a psychologist

true because many hands are needed

but studying law is not because

I’m going to liquidate it much less but yes

yes I have the knowledge to be able

defend the victim and if so to be able

adviser on the road has also

found with wonderful women that

listened to their life stories that is

what motivates me to move forward

I am convinced that you do not need

suffer a tragedy to be able to help

I am convinced that we can all

achieve what we dream that we can all

contribute our bit

I’m not telling you that we

let’s become the superheroes that

tijuana needs and that at the time of

hour that we are seeing that they are

hitting the man from the corner not

let’s get in because we have also

faced with being unable to feel anymore

the pain of others for all the days that

what we are reading and seeing and how not

we want it to happen to us, so it’s better not to

we touch honor or we do not see it then

What I do invite is that they raise their

voice

make these superheroes but

internal as we have been listening

and it’s in all the conferences of the

tomorrow where is how carla said it to

Marti and accept as he said because

now to live in a way all the

days without being with the pilot on

As Carorita said on her trip

it was not necessary to go to india

to reunite with herself

so I think we can all

contribute our bit does not

they occupy having all the professions of

I also did not hear it for hours and I

I did because since I was very young

I always knew that I wanted to be a dentist

it was three in the morning and I

I woke up with a demo a toothache

my dad was a dental surgeon and I

got out of my house now avoided death

That day I decided that I wanted to take

the pain to people who did not have

why endure that toothache

but I also wanted to be an attorney because

I saw injustices every day

what happened in our city

I am from here in Tijuana and they continue

happening there are still suits and

that’s why I wanted to be a lawyer to put

the jail to the bad guys

today one in four

women will be a victim of abuse

sex before the age of 16

seven of each woman seven out of ten

women is a victim of violence

intrafamily

nothing else asked how many women

we know here today and they create

this has not been easy is a way

long is a path

sad but at the same time we look for the way

of doing positive things because the

change a little boy’s life

plant them this seed that can be

and that you can heal your pain with that I

I’m well paid

we live here at the border where

unfortunately there is still the

sex tourism

I could not believe when they came to me

information and statistics of how low

California

the border being there was the

violence against women and towards

children and more sexual exploitation does not

change head

how could they tell me that

the tourists arrived to inlet and that

with a manual they taught the

children and girls of all ages

including month

this the government knows but does not say

I today

I emphasize and invited them to break

that silence to break with these rules

that tie us that we are not

they do not let us participate then I do not

It remains more than showing them a video of

what I do unrepeatable that is in

we are in our hands can

save any child and if you guys

know of a person who is being

victim of sexual abuse or violence

intrafamiliar in your house

I spoke do not stay quiet because

then they become conquered

bush because it’s always easier to give

what we have to give what we are
