Reading today's Manifesto March 8, United Nations Day for Women's Rights and International Peace, has been more emotional, largely by the protagonist of this reading, Soledad Pignatelli, known as Grandma Cartagena, who at 103 years, becomes a key witness to the struggle for equality for women over a century, a struggle in which we are on the right track, but we have not arrived, and where we need to man.
Excited and nervous at first, Soledad has picked up the pace quickly and not only read the manifesto, but has dared to make known to the audience at the Town Hall a poem written by her, a little daring, as their own words, encouraging then to sing and dance to all present.
The councilman of Social Care, Antonio Calderon, and the Councillor for Women, Clara Hall, flanked Cartagena's grandmother, along with members of the municipal corporation all political groups and crowds of anonymous people, men and women who have been added to the memorial.
The event ended with a theater, Women in time, a walk through history and the milestones achieved by women.
