Today, in the central Plaza del Alpargatero, the Manifesto Against Gender Violence has been read by the Councilor for Equality and Women of the City Council of Cehegín, Antonia Fernández, who has been accompanied By councilors and councilors of the Government Team, members of the Municipal Corporation, associations of the municipality and general public.
This manifesto puts an end to the events organized by the council on the occasion of the "International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women," held every 25 November.
The Edil stressed in his reading that "the aspiration of a democratic society should not be to minimize the effects of violence that embarrasses us, but its complete eradication. Freedom and fundamental rights are not such if they can not be fully exercised And in this task we must involve both men and women, from our professional position, but also in our personal environment more immediate.
Also, in the course of today's event, she has made a poetic reading Maravillas Abril, from the Association of Widows, as well as Maria Semitiel, from the Association of "The Garden".
And, finally, the Choir of Psychiatric Penitentiary of Alicante, has wanted to join this initiative and has interpreted two well-known musical themes for all attendees.
With this, as we have mentioned, the various events that have been organized since this Council in recent days have been put to an end, including a talk on how to detect gender violence in adolescents, a painting workshop on this problem, etc.
The main objective of the activities was to inform and prevent the social scourge of gender violence and to promote real equality between men and women.
