Campaign of the department of Equality against sexual harassment during the Major Festivities

09 November 2016
Campaña de la Concejalía de Igualdad contra el acoso sexual en Fiestas

'Yes, it is fun. Not aggression 'is the motto of the campaign that will be disseminated among peasants and visitors with posters, stickers and plates

Last night in the last meeting of the Association of Penyes, prior to the Festes Majors Patronals 2016, in the House of Fester 'Diego Cano', the Equality councilor, Angela Llorca, have presented the campaign 'Yes, it's fun. Not aggression, "to avoid violent actions against women. Last July, during the celebration of the Sanfermines, sexual assaults were alleged, a fact that has been repeated too many times in other scenarios of the national geography. "In some places in Spain," said Angela Llorca, "parties are stages in which some people commit offensive actions against women." Therefore, and taking advantage of the fact that the Association of Penyes has experience in this type of initiatives, as demonstrated by the 'Coneixement' campaign, carried out in collaboration with the UPCCA (Community Prevention Unit of Addictive Behaviors), against abuse in alcohol consumption, Equality launches this year 'YES, it's fun. NOT, aggression. ' "The fiestas are moments of fun and coexistence in which respect among people must be above everything," said Llorca, that is why the City Council has designed this initiative, with the aim of "raising awareness of the aggressor that certain behaviors are aggressions, "facilitate that" the victim can face that situation "and ensure that citizens" do not tolerate those behaviors. " Llorca announced that the campaign will consist of the publication of specific posters that will be "placed in all the premises of the 'Peñas'" and the distribution "among all members of bottons". Equality has also prepared an edition of stickers in English language that will be distributed among the foreign citizens who visit us these days.
