Gandía celebrates Women's Day with an extensive program of activities

The Councillor for Equality, Diversity and Inclusive Policies in Gandía, Juana Navarro, and the Equality Agent, Esther Vidal, have presented the activities that have been prepared for the celebration of International Women’s Day on March 8.
Navarro has declared that March 8 has become a key date for women around the world, because “it is a day on which women vindicate our rights and those still to be achieved. The struggle to claim women’s rights is growing and expanding. More and more women and men recognise this struggle as their own and see feminism as a way of claiming equality between men and women.”
She has also announced that the program of the event has the goal to reach all audiences, supporting initiatives aimed at promoting gender equality in all areas.

Activities for everyone

The activities began on March 2 with the debate on sexuality, by Agustín Zaragozá, who talked about the problems of being a man, identity, sexuality and violence. In addition, Natalia De Ancos talked about conscious sexuality.
