On the occasion of the commemoration of the 25th International Day against Violence against Women, the City Council of Alcantarilla, through the Department of Social Welfare, Health and Consumer Affairs has scheduled for this year a series of awareness activities for the population in General, whose common denominator is the visibility of this problem in all social strata, seeking the involvement of all citizens to face and put "hands to work" to eradicate it, through the social isolation of the aggressors.
For this, it is imperative that the actions carried out in matters of Gender Violence are transverse to the whole society.
So this year so that the transversality is more visible in our own institution, we have involved in the programming, organization and participation of the activities throughout the City, through the corresponding Councils. On Sunday, November 27, there will be a March against The Gender Violence, with a walk of 5 km, leaving at 10 in the morning from the Plaza de San Pedro, next to the Town Hall, open to all the population, which is called to join, More than ever, this time against violence against women.
Upon completion we will provide a courtesy supply of the HERO Spain sewer company, which cooperates with us, as will again have the collaboration of council council, such as Social Welfare, Sports;
Citizen Security, and we will have volunteers of Civil Protection Sewer.
Alcantarilla has also shown another campaign, always with the intention of raising awareness, more and more and more, for the elimination of gender violence, throughout the week with "NO PAPER WET", as last year, involved in The sensitization days of the hotel sector of Alcantarilla, this year also, the innkeepers of the municipality associated with HosteKantara have been involved in our campaign and have placed in their napkins, paper napkins, with messages against violence against women: "Your involvement Is essential.
No to gender violence, It's not a wet job, "in which the hotel supply company Enrique Bohajar has collaborated.
This battery of awareness activities began with the realization of the poster, with the slogan "Pretend against gender violence", using as a material the hands painted purple, made by schoolchildren of Alcantarilla in the last campaign of commemoration of 25N.
And the activities began last November 18 with the Workshop on prevention of sexual aggression among adolescents: "Yes it is not a yes, it is a no", in which 4º students of the ESO of the IES Francisco Salzillo participated, in Its own educational center, coordinated by the Department of Education and carried out by CAVI professionals (Yolanda Bastida, María Galián and Patricia Santesteban).
