Fulfilling the commitment of the Government of Baja California, headed by Marina del Pilar Avila Olmeda, to promote protection mechanisms for journalists and human rights defenders in the State, the General Secretariat of the Government (SGG) summons these social groups to present proposals that strengthen institutional action.
The head of the SGG, Catalino Zavala Márquez, expressed that it is of vital importance for the administration of Marina del Pilar Avila Olmeda to create a scheme to promote the active participation of journalists and human rights defenders since they know more in-depth the daily life of their work.
In the same sense, he announced that journalists interested in participating may do so remotely by sending their proposals to the Undersecretary for Human Rights, via email dhbc@baja.gob.mx, and WhatsApp numbers 686 152 8421. In addition, Proposals for the text may be sent in writing.
Zavala Márquez pointed out that an additional option is to attend in person the discussion tables that the SGG will lead based on the following agenda:
