Full programme to celebrate Int'l Day for Elimination of Violence against Women this November

foto 2021 dia eliminacio violenciaThe President of the Consell de Formentera and Councillor of Equality, Ana Juan, along with the President of Espai Dones, Dolores Fernández Tamargo, presented the programme of activities lined up to mark 25 November, International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

Juan began remarks by praising the Espai Dones association for organising“these actions and for the awareness-raising work it carries out throughout the year”. The president stressed that the situation of many women worsened during under COVID-19 and lockdown orders, and“this is precisely when local government should be closer to them”. She underscored the efforts of the Formentera Office of Social Welfare; the Consell's collaboration earlier this year with the Guardia Civil to open the sala amable, a special room to reinforce care for women, as well as local government's appearance in what she described as the“despicable” case of the gang rape and assault of a 19-year-old girl on the island last July.“We women will never tire of denouncing misconduct, but it isn't enough; we need the involvement of everyone, men and women, because this fight must be cross-cutting and encompass everything from the public administration to families, culture, education and sport”.

Finally, President Juan stressed that one of the main priorities of the department she now oversees will be to denounce and combat prostitution on the island:“we must work in this regard, on policies that protect women from this scourge”.
