2018 and 2019 proved to be two prolific years in terms of adding visibility to the victims of wrongful convictions in Latin America, raising global awareness regarding institutional practices leading to false incarcerations and tortures, and building partnerships with national governments to eradicate these practices. Together with our local partners, we held two major conferences on the issue: one at the Mexican Deputy Chamber in Mexico (wo major conferences were held in November 2018, the other at the Senate of Colombia in March 2019. Following the first of these two conferences, the Mexican Federal Government asked En Vero to share our database of wrongful convictions in order to take concrete measures to evaluate these cases and work toward an effective solution to release victims of unjust imprisonment.
