Cathy La Torre: “Goodbye 2020, I’m happy you’ll never come back”

What year was 2020 for rights?

We talked about it, in this new episode of the podcast of Vanity Fair, Goodbye 2020, along with the lawyer and activist Cathy La Torre, always at the forefront of defending the rights of all, especially the invisible. As she herself tells in the book published for Mondadori, No cause is lost.

«2020 was an incredible, absurd, paradoxical, dystopian year for everyone. For me it was also the year of my 20 years of activism and my 40 years.

I turned 40 in 202 and it was therefore the year in which no one was able to celebrate or fully experience many things that have happened in our life. I believe that if all of us human beings on earth have one thing in common, it is that 2020 was the year of the pandemic ».

But 2020 was also a year in which we rediscovered some rights, which we often took for granted. One for all? The right to public health. “We had forgotten it because we had assumed that health is a collective good and instead 2020 is the year in which we rediscovered that this asset had obviously not been sufficiently paid attention to and over the last 20 years it had suffered many upheavals. This was the year in which we rediscovered the right to health and public health ”.
