Published Jul 16, 2026 · via San Juan Daily Star

Astrid Piñeiro Vázquez, the Women's Advocate, announced on Wednesday that the Office of the Women's Advocate (OPM) will establish an alliance with Fundación Consentido to develop prevention campaigns targeting young people, presented by high school students. Piñeiro Vázquez stated that violence is learned and can be prevented, saying 'La violencia no surge de un día para otro.

Violence does not arise from one day to another. It is learned, repeated, and can also be prevented

Se aprende, se repite y también puede prevenirse' ('Violence does not arise from one day to another. It is learned, repeated, and can also be prevented').

The agreement between the two organizations aims to bring these messages to schools.
