The campaign aims to involve citizens in the prevention and eradication of sexist violence, transforming public spaces in the municipality into sites of awareness. Portraits of the 16 individuals, including young people, adults, and seniors, as well as professionals from various fields such as education and associations, are being distributed on posters throughout the town.
The mayor, Jacobo Pérez, and the Equality Councilor, Rocío Ferro, presented the initiative, emphasizing that the goal is for the town's residents to see themselves reflected and actively participate. The core message is clear: sexist violence is a societal problem, and everyone must stand up against it.
The black and white photographs, with an aesthetic linked to November 25th, aim to raise awareness among both residents of Caldas de Reis and visitors. The initiative focuses on preventing and eradicating sexist violence, promoting a society based on equality, respect, and freedom.
Among the participants in the campaign are Amor Herrera (musician and writer), Juan Puente (retired), José Aragundo (businessman), Ana Ferro (student and athlete), María Jabois (businesswoman), Javier Penido (director of the Municipal Band), Charo Moreira (president of the Santa Mariña Women's Association), Ana García (director of CPI Afonso VII), José Luís Goldar (hotelier), Sesi Roquiño (hotelier and announcer), Lucía Rivas (footballer), Julio García (Master Chef), Carmelo Goldar (photographer), Ekaterina Rebón (taekwondo athlete from Club Número Phi), along with Councilor Rocío Ferro and Mayor Jacobo Pérez.
This campaign is the central focus of the City Council's program for November 25th, which has already included workshops for ESO students, the exhibition ‘Chicas nuevas 24HRS’ by Mabel Lozano, and the play ‘As R(H)umorosas’. Additionally, the Municipal Auditorium will host two screenings on November 22nd (6:00 PM) for the general public and on November 23rd (11:30 AM) for students.
