Hola nuevamente,
Tengo una duda con el siguiente texto:
Desde la plataforma de las iglesias y las familias que promueven la protección de la niñez, dar a conocer la ruta de denuncia para que las familias conozcan a dónde acudir ante casos de violencia domestica.
Desafortunadamente, el término solo aparece una vez en el documento y o estoy muy seguro de cómo traducirlo.
Me da la impresión de que se refieren a "espacios religiosos", es decir actividades a nivel de la iglesia en las que se abordan ciertos temas; no obstante, no estoy muy seguro de ello.
Una vez más, agradezco sus aportes.

While 'platform' is used a lot these days, I don't think we could use it in English in this context. I would translate the start of this sentence as:
The churches and families that advocate for...know the way to...
The churches and families that advocate for...know the way to...

: I use platform in this sense all the time nowadays, in different contexts, not just IT/EDI.

platform
As often used nowadays in the sense of a vantage point, i.e. a base from which to set out from, in the case in point, churches and family organisations or groupings.
As in the usage examples below.

Although I sort of agree with your suggestion to omit the offending "platform" I can't bring myself to disagree with it because I use it in English all the time.
As examples of usage in education, a search for "the school as a platform" gets over 300,000 hits. The same goes for "University is a platform".
And a similar search for "business as a platform" gets over five million results.

Example sentence:
Use your church as a platform for evangelism....
Although most young people now see the church as a platform for talent developmen..

: This works for me. May not have been acceptable in this context 60 years ago but it is now. 60 years hence no doubt the only acceptable term will be "launchpad"
