Pastoral de la Mujer de la Mesa de Diálogo condemns the murder of a girl in Puerto Plata and demands justice

Puerto Plata.- The Women’s Pastoral of the Dialogue Table expressed its deep indignation and pain at the recent events in Puerto Plata, calling them an act of extreme cruelty that demonstrates a serious moral and spiritual crisis in society. The entity stated that attempting against the life and integrity of a boy or a girl not only constitutes an atrocious crime, but also a deep wound to the soul of the nation.

“Childhood represents innocence and hope; their life is sacred and must be protected without exception”, the Pastoral stated in a statement.

Faced with this regrettable event, the Women’s Pastoral demanded that the authorities firmly apply the maximum penalty against those responsible, in accordance with the law.

They affirmed that justice cannot be weak or delayed in the face of crimes of this nature, as impunity puts the most vulnerable sectors at greater risk.

Finally, the Women’s Pastoral of the Dialogue Table urged Dominican society to awaken its collective conscience, regain the fear of God, compassion, and the commitment to firmly denounce and protect children, so that events like this do not happen again.
