The Mayor of Lorca, Fulgencio Gil, has affirmed that the history of our city is embroidered by Lorca women who have managed to make their work an art recognized at all levels that, moreover, constitutes the most extraordinary creation of Lorca artistic heritage.
We speak today of great women who embroider Lorca and not only in silk and gold, but in cinema and theater, like our beloved Margarita Lozano, or going further than anyone, like our athlete Úrsula Ruiz.
Lokines that sculpt our collective imaginary, such as Mª Dolores Fernández Arcas, or break anchilled stereotypes to educate generations of Lorca, as did Pilar Barnés and Ana Caicedo.
And hands of Lorca have made history on the arena of the race, guiding cuadrigas, like Purita Vizcaíno, or embroidering emblematic pieces, like Ángela Morales ".
The celebration of March 8 allows us to reaffirm our collective commitment to the defense of women's rights.
With the arrival of this anniversary we have the opportunity to participate in a complete agenda of activities in which through culture, training, exhibitions, theater or social activities we unanimously claim what would have to be an absolute reality in the middle of the century XXI: equality between men and women.
There are still injustices, wage or labor differences, walls that women have to tear down simply because they are women.
And there is still that absolute barbarism that is violence against women, something that does not enter our heads but, unfortunately, continues to produce tragedies throughout our country.
March 8 is the date that the calendar reserves us annually to take stock.
We have come a long way in recent years and every time equality is gaining ground.
But we can not settle.
It is not enough for us to have more or less equality;
We need a fully egalitarian society in which each man and each woman starts from the same point of departure and merits, commitment and capacity are the issues that differentiate them, and not their sex.
Today we express our voice as a city.
Lorca will say loud and clear that he is not willing to give in and that he will only accept total equality as an essential feature.
During the next days there will be many activities that dynamize the calendar of our city: cinema, theater or workshops, among other events aimed at raising awareness, promoting and vindicating.
But fighting against inequality is a task that concerns us all during all the days of the year.
We have to be aware that we must continue to make Lorca an egalitarian city in which we are getting more and more progress each time.
I know that working together will be like that.
It should be noted that the campaign, which is framed under the slogan "365 days in equality", began on February 23 and will run until April 24 with the completion of more than 30 activities of different topics and different purposes but with the role of women as a central theme, which can be followed through social networks with the hastag # Lorca8M.
