"

The mayor of Mujer y Igualdad, Cristina García-Vaso, makes clear her "immense joy for an International Day of Working Women whose social response will remain for the collective memory, since the resounding success of the international strike of women has become clear too in our municipality. "

More than 300 people, among whom were members of all the women's associations of the municipality, gathered at the Esquina del Convento at 12:00 noon on Thursday to demand real equality of rights between men and women, "a pending issue in our society and a despicable practice that should soon be forgotten. "

Also, some 1,000 people seconded the march for March 8 called by the Ajuntaera Feminista Akelinza, to denounce that "the wage gap, job insecurity, under-representation, responsibility for care, lack of autonomy and own rights were penetrating into society without the collective conscience warning of what was happening, but fortunately the response to the demands of equality has been unanimous and massive. "

García-Vaso declares to be aware that "from the institutions, local, regional and national, we can not remain impassive, we must continue working every day, since real policies and budgetary commitment against violence against women are necessary, with political decisions We need budgets and transversal agreements that address the global nature of the discriminations and inequalities that today sustain patriarchy, to eradicate them from our lives. "

He adds that the local government "has included schools at the table against gender violence because it is essential to prevent it since adolescence, and has reactivated the Municipal Women's Council, through which they have been programmed. a multitude of activities in a consensual manner with the political groups and associations attending, and it is also the first time since its creation that we have managed to ensure that the CAVI does not close a single day, serving all the women who have specified it, and shortly we will update the Equality Plan of the City of Cieza.
