The PSOE proposes the launch of a campaign to raise awareness and prevent sexist attacks (24/08/2018)

The Socialists propose the installation of the so-called "Violet Points" in a fixed manner during the fairs and festivities in September, specifically in the Huerto de la Rueda fairground, in the center of the City and in the vicinity of the Virgen de las Huertas Convent to inform, sensitize and prevent sexist attitudes and behavior against women.

The councilor of the PSOE in the City of Lorca, Andrea Periago Lopez has proposed, in the face of the upcoming celebration of the Fairs and Festivals of Lorca, the implementation of a "campaign of awareness and prevention of sexist aggressions", as well as they have already been done and other municipalities are going to be held on the occasion of their parties.

Periago López points out that this campaign "For a party free of sexist aggressions", would have to be developed with the installation of several of the so-called "Violet Points" in the areas with the highest concentration of people and activities.

"Specifically, we propose that these violet points be installed in a fixed and continuous way in the fairground of Huerto de la Rueda at the same time as the fair of attractions and other activities, in the city center, on the occasion of the Day Fair , and in the surroundings of the Convent of the Virgen de las Huertas during the development of the patron saint festivities ", the mayor emphasizes.

In this way, - emphasizes Periago López - "we intend to show our commitment to equality between women and men and against sexist violence, carrying out a forceful and continuous action of awareness and information to all citizens and prevention and protection against sexist aggressions ".

This campaign has three clearly identifiable objectives, says the mayor;

"incorporate the prevention of violence against women in the programs of festivals and festivals held in the municipality of Murcia, sensitize and inform all citizens about the right of women to decide and the services of attention to situations of sexist violence; and involve all social agents in the fight against sexist violence ".

These points of attention and information could be served by volunteers from Civil Protection and Red Cross Lorca, "prior to having received specific training" by the staff of the corresponding Department, so that adds - explain and distribute information campaign about what is sexist violence, signs and indicators for both girls and boys learn to detect micromachismos and behaviors that can lead to sexual assault and what to do in the face of a sexist aggression ", as they could also distribute cards with useful phones , in order to have emergency telephone numbers and municipal services to report and assist people facing a sexist aggression.

The Socialist councilor stressed that the "Violet Points" are spaces for information, awareness and prevention of sexist attitudes and behavior against women, as well as spaces for security and accompaniment for victims of sexist or sexual violence ", for this reason it would be an very good initiative to develop by the City of Lorca for the upcoming holidays.
