Towards equality

REGIONAL authorities in Axarquia have unveiled an exciting programme of events to celebrate International Women’s Day, under the slogan ‘Moving onwards towards equality’. The celebrations include activities in more than 40 towns in the region, talks and shows focusing on gender equality and raising awareness about gender violence. In addition to this, local councils can also request violet­coloured information points to educate locals and visitors about gender equality.

As a way of recognising and rewarding distinguished women in the region, prizes will be given out to individuals and organisations who have made significant contributions towards gender equality within their communities, including in Rincon de La Victoria on Monday, March 6.

This year’s International Women’s Day celebrations are sure to be a memorable event that will bring together people from all walks of life towards equality.
