El abordaje de la violencia digital llegó al Congreso

Overview

  • Lawmakers, NGOs and activist Olimpia Coral Melo launched the Proyecto de Ley Ema in the Chamber of Deputies as a proposal, not yet law.
  • Companion resource Guía Ema offers schools concrete steps for prevention, early detection, protective measures, reparative actions, sanctions and training.
  • The bill aims to establish a national program within the education portfolio to equip teachers, students and families to respond to digital abuse.
  • Backers position the effort alongside Argentina’s Ley Olimpia and the separate push for a Penal Code reform known as Ley Belén targeting crimes such as non‑consensual sharing, sextortion and deepfake sexual content.
  • The measures follow the 2024 case in which a classmate shared Ema’s intimate video in WhatsApp groups, illustrating how peer circulation can quickly overwhelm school communities.
