Join us for an inspiring evening as we delve into the powerful work of María Luz Nóchez, a courageous journalist from El Salvador. María is part of the esteemed team at El Faro, a renowned news platform known for its investigative journalism and commitment to exposing human rights abuses, impunity, and social inequalities. Through documentaries and thought-provoking discussions, we will shed light on María’s groundbreaking efforts to advocate for a.o. women’s and LGBTIQ+ rights, while navigating the challenging landscape of a country marked by threats against press freedom.
During this event, María will share her firsthand experiences as a human rights defender in El Salvador, discussing the immense obstacles faced by journalists who seek to uncover the truth. She will provide insights into her non-victimizing approach to storytelling and the need to contextualize human rights violations in order to expose the root causes and widespread impunity. María’s work has been instrumental in driving legal reforms and societal change, making her a beacon of hope and resilience.
Don’t miss this opportunity to stand in solidarity with María and join the conversation on the power of journalism, human rights advocacy, and the pursuit of truth. Together, we can amplify the voices of those who fight for justice and equality.
