Torrevieja Play Highlights Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation

Torrevieja will host a theatre production to raise awareness about the trafficking and sexual exploitation of women, titled "Aquí nunca pasa nada" (Nothing Ever Happens Here). The performance will take place at the Virgen del Carmen Cultural Centre on Saturday, September 26 at 7pm, organized by the Torrevieja City Council's Social Welfare and Equality Department and the Teatro Sin Papeles company.

Inspired by the Carioca Case, a major investigation into a prostitution and sexual exploitation network involving over 300 women, the play explores the realities of trafficking, prostitution, and the challenges victims face when seeking justice. Presented by Teatro Sin Papeles, the production features director Moisés Mato and stars Olga Compte and Susana Álvarez.

Drawing on documents and testimonies from the investigation, the play highlights the personal and social consequences of sexual exploitation, emphasizing the vulnerability of trafficked women and the need for effective protection and support services. Central themes include solidarity between women and the development of a relationship between the two main characters.

The production is supported by the Torrevieja City Council, the Valencian Public Social Services System, Spain's State Pact against Gender-Based Violence, and the Ministry of Equality.
