Vélez-Málaga has been engaging schoolchildren in a series of events and activities to raise awareness for International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women including a march
Vélez-Málaga has included its youngest and dearest in the international fight against gender violence. As part of a nationwide collaborative effort to show solidarity for the cause, there have been numerous initiatives taking place across the Axarquia region, many of which have involved performances, workshops and activities for school children.
More than 2000 of Vélez-Málaga’s schoolchildren joined march
Yesterday, Monday November 25, more than 2000 of Vélez-Málaga’s schoolchildren made a stand on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women in a march against sexist violence. It took place from the Social Affairs (Asuntos Sociales) building up to the Paseo de Andalucía, where the children heard the reading of the manifesto in rejection of gender violence.
Purples ribbons or lights have been a symbol against gender violence
This was a positive reminder of the importance of education in tackling social issues from a young age and turned out to be a productive and meaningful day with all children full involved and integrated in the event. Many carried posters and banners or were wearing the symbolic purple tie or ribbon.
