The Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) made its first official visit to Paraguay last week, with Manager of Latin American Affairs Nurit Caplivschi traveling to the capital, Asunción, for a series of high-level meetings with government leaders, national lawmakers, religious figures, and civil society representatives.
The trip marked a significant milestone in the expansion of CAM en Español’s cooperation with regional partners to fight antisemitism, discrimination, and hatred across Latin America and advance a shared commitment to building a future grounded in mutual understanding, democratic values, and peace.
The Paraguay visit was a direct result of the First Congress of Latin American Legislators Against Antisemitism and fifth-annual Latin American Forum Against Antisemitism hosted by CAM in Uruguay and Brazil in the past year.
A highlight of the visit was the announcement that CAM’s “No Discriminarás” (“Thou Shall Not Discriminate”) traveling art exhibit will go on display at the Bicameral Hall of the Paraguayan Legislature on June 22, with the support of the National Congress of Paraguay, the Ministry of Education and Sciences of Paraguay, and the Assembly Academy.
In September, the exhibit will move to Asunción’s historic Cabildo, offering a unique educational opportunity for students, teachers and the general public.
The “No Discriminarás” exhibit — created by Argentine artist Adrián Franco, known as “Pati” — features a set of sketched vignettes portraying different manifestations of contemporary Jew-hatred, ranging from negative stereotyping of Jews to Holocaust denial, based on the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism‘s 11 examples.
Originally conceived by CAM en Español in collaboration with Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA) Director of Art and Production Elio Kapszuk, the exhibit has been put on display over the past three years in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Santiago, Chile, Montevideo, Uruguay, Quito, Ecuador, and Panama City, Panama, among other locations, reaching diverse Latin American audiences.
Expresamos una gran gratitud a Paraguay por la calidez recibida durante nuestra primera visita oficial y por abrir las puertas a “No Discriminarás”, una muestra que promueve la tolerancia, el respeto y los valores humanos.

CAM’s outreach in Latin America began five years ago, and since then it has worked diligently to build meaningful partnerships and friendships with influential leaders, legislators, diplomats, community organizations, and civil society activists from a diverse assortment of religious, political and cultural backgrounds in the region to combat antisemitism together.
During this time, CAM en Español has emerged as a key player in the battle against Jew-hatred in Latin America, with a growing coalition involved in impactful activities in countries including Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Panama, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Mexico, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Honduras, among others.
CAM en Español has organized regional summits in Brazil in 2025, Costa Rica in 2024, Uruguay in 2023, Panama in 2022, and Guatemala in 2021, with the Dominican Republic next in line later this year.
