A hundred men and women have concentrated this afternoon at the gates of City Hall Administration Building Cartagena on Calle San Miguel, where they read a manifesto against gender violence and has held a minute's silence in memory of victims.
Among those present were council members, officials and representatives of various women's associations.
The event was convened by the Department of Women to commemorate the International Day Against the Elimination of Violence against Women.
The president of the Federation of Mediterranean women, María José Martínez Vidal, has been commissioned to read the manifesto, which was first read equally in all secondary schools in the municipality with the aim to involve and educate to young people in the fight against this social scourge, on two fronts: physical violence and humiliation.
The manifesto has expressed an unmitigated rejection against gender violence, which is the main inequality and injustice between men and women, and advocated for an education that instills values coexistence between the sexes on the basis of respect and understanding, and preventing future violence and abuse.
There were also words of rejection of child abuse resulting in permanent sequelae those who suffer and urged the authorities and society not to look for another, before any kind of violence.
Among the measures that have been claimed is the increased penalties to offenders, increased measures to protect and care for victims and streamlining legal procedures to punish the perpetrators.
The manifesto has pointed to the joint efforts of governments, particularly those closest to the victims, as the best way to eradicate it, and invited each and everyone to engage in building a more caring world, without power relations between men and women.
Reading over demanding that there is not a battered woman more, no more death, no more.
NEED TO REPORT MORE
Councillor for Women, Rosario Montero, questions from reporters, said that complaint is still not enough cases of mistreatment of women and encouraged victims to do so, as this will prevent cases like the recent past that could have been avoided if the victims had been terminated by their abusers.
An abuser always repent and ask forgiveness, but do it again and again, added Montero.
In this sense he recalled that governments have the means to accommodate the victims and help them out of this spiral of violence and humiliation, from where you get your life and self-esteem, and return to being people.
