Murcia change today called on the City Council, organize beyond symbolic acts, get a "real commitment" against gender violence, and develop effective equality policies.
According to Councilwoman Margarita Guerrero, the local level is the best space, being the closest to citizens, to boost measures aimed at raising awareness and prevention of violence against women.
Guerrero explained that violence against women is a scourge against which we must act from an educational perspective and cross and a preventive approach, plus punitive.
"Ending the sexist violence means choosing to build a society with equal rights and opportunities, and it is therefore necessary to involve all social and political actors."
For the mayor, the problem is structural sexism generated by the patriarchal system, with effects ranging from private to public, and everyday actions, starting with "an education that perpetuates gender roles assigned by society and accented by sexist advertising. "
