Power of silence

MEMBERS of Cuevas del Almanzora Council gathered at the entrance to the town hall on the morning of November 25 where they held a minute of silence to honour the memory of victims of gender violence.

The small ceremony was one of many events organised by the Municipal Women’s Information Centre for the International Day against Gender Violence, which is recognised across the world on November 25. 

After the moment of silence, a manifesto against gender violence was read aloud, and a banner was hung from the balcony of the town hall. 

New additions this year included vibrant purple lights which lit up the Marques de Los Velez Castle for several days, and a short film which was screened in the Echegaray Theatre.
