On April 7th, we held the 2025 University Seminar on Human Trafficking at Casa Árabe (Madrid), under the slogan “Break the darkness, face the truth. Join the conversation.” More than 150 people participated both in person and online, raising their voices against human trafficking, sexual exploitation, and prostitution, and highlighting the key role of youth in the defense of human rights.
It is essential to make trafficking visible, raise awareness about sexual exploitation and prostitution, and promote the engagement of young people in the defense of human rights.
We were honored to hear from professionals with outstanding careers in the fight against this serious violation of rights:
- Claribel De Castro Sánchez – National University of Distance Education (UNED)
- Captain Fernando Hernández Rodrigo – Human Trafficking Division, Spanish Civil Guard
- Marta González Manchón – Fundación de Solidaridad Amaranta
- Eva Márquez – Diaconía
- Rocío Mora – Apramp
With the institutional support of:
- Rubén Pérez Correa – State Secretariat, Ministry of Youth and Children
- Maria Jaen – President of Helsinki España – Dimensión Humana
- Miguel Moro – Director General of Casa Árabe
We are especially grateful for the participation of the Universidad Estatal de Bolívar (Ecuador), where several Human Talent Management classes joined the seminar as a group.
The event was organized by the Institutional Relations team of Helsinki España, coordinated by Beatriz Boris, with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, and in collaboration with Casa Árabe.
