What’s being debated
The roundtable "Desaparición forzada de menores: un crimen impune" examines this crime as a violation of human rights and a crime against humanity. Organised as part of the cultural events at the Universitat de València, the discussion focuses on documented cases in Spain, with special attention to irregular adoptions and stolen babies during the Franco regime and the transition period.
Who’s taking part
Three speakers with backgrounds in research and victim advocacy will participate:
- Soledad Luque, president of the association Todos los niños robados son también mis niños and lecturer at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, specialising in human rights.
- María José Esteso, investigative journalist focused on historical memory and cases of institutional corruption.
- Dolores Pérez, vice-president of Asociación de Víctimas de Alacant: Bebés Robats i Adopcions Irregularitats (AVA), providing first-hand testimony from affected families.
The event is moderated by Ana Teresa Ortega, an artist and photographer whose work has explored memory and identity through visual projects.
