Juan Araya Veas, aged 32, published a memoir titled 'Del Sename a la vida que siempre soñé' (Editorial Filzic, 2026) about his childhood in Chile's Sename child protection system. [^1]

Columnist Jonathan Rincón Prieto argues that political figures like Abelardo de la Espriella use religious concepts such as God, family, and values to enforce a specific moral agenda in schools. [^2]

Catalina Morales, who left Chile for New Zealand after high school, completed a technical degree in business administration online at IACC and graduated while living in New Zealand. [^3]

Juan Araya Veas moved to Antofagasta at age 19, where he met his wife Tiare and later had a son named Agustín. [^4]

The back cover of the book describes the true story of a child who grew up facing abandonment, violence, poverty, and the Sename system, and who overcame these to build a different life. [^5]

Jonathan Rincón Prieto asserts that the political discourse reduces complex realities to an elemental opposition between God and ideology, or family and threat. [^6]

The article states that the phrase 'ideology of gender' is used as a vague label to group diverse issues like sex education, feminism, and LGBT rights into a single enemy. [^7]

The author notes that the current religious discourse focuses on the bedroom, body, and family but struggles to address hunger, inequality, precarious work, and exclusion. [^8]
