The First Edil affirms that "all citizens have to achieve together that in this city no woman suffers violence;
we will not allow it, because there is no crime more infamous than the one committed against a woman "
The Mayor of Lorca, Fulgencio Gil, has made a call for unity of action and commitment to all Lorca to achieve together that in this city no woman suffer violence;
we together will not allow it, because there is no crime more infamous than the one committed against a woman.
We presume to be an advanced, modern society, the culmination of rationality.
And yet we have to be ashamed that the great scourge in the form of a crime that is violence against women continues to exist and that we have to define as an attack against the progress of the human being.
The First Edil has affirmed that we think that violence occurs in other places and in other cultures, but this same year we have suffered in our city the consequences of gender violence.
It exists in our city and can exist in our neighborhood, in our building, in our staircase or landing.
It is a real problem and requires our full attention;
we are obliged to be alert to help that woman who suffers and to put ourselves at her absolute disposal as soon as she needs us.
Fulgencio Gil stressed that fortunately there have been many progress in the long and difficult road that leads to real equality.
Things as normalized today as the female vote, or that a woman could have an account in the bank in his name seemed chimeras just a few years ago.
But total and absolute equality does not yet exist.
And as long as that's the case, we'll have a lot of work to do.
Our objective is clear: that within a few years the violence has been eradicated and that when looking back we do not understand how it was possible for us to coexist with domestic violence with such normality.
The Mayor is committed to the City Council to continue working to remember those women who have been viciously murdered during the year and that their memory is the best inspiration for all.
From the Municipal Council we are providing all the help that any woman needs at a legal, psychological, work ... We all have to help, but for this it is necessary to denounce.
If we do not know, we can not be useful, that's why we encourage you to denounce.
The First Edil has presided this morning in the Plaza de España the reading of the institutional manifesto against gender violence that has been carried out by students of the institutes Francisco Ros Giner and San Juan Bosco, who have also starred in a special performance on this subject .
The act has also included a minute of silence, and has counted with the organization of the Federation of Women's Organizations of Lorca, a group of which the Mayor has underlined his extraordinary work for the benefit of Lorca women and, in particular, against violence against women.
