The Government delegate in the Canary Islands, Anselmo Pestana, has today presented the awareness and information campaign on public resources against gender violence that the Government Delegation launches in Gran Canaria in collaboration with the Guaguas Municipal companies of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Global.
Through this campaign, it will be dressed with information on public resources against gender violence outside four guaguas of many other public transport lines in Gran Canaria that are frequented by users and cover routes from the north to the south of the island.
The presentation, which took place in the Santa Catalina Park of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, was also attended by the councillor delegate of the Mobility and Employment Area of the City of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and president of the Board of Directors of Municipal Guaguas, José Eduardo Ramírez, and the general director of Global, Víctor Quintana.
Anselmo Pestana points out that “through these guagua lines that run through the city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and the island of Gran Canaria from north to south, it is intended that it is the awareness campaign that moves, so that this message of help to the victims of gender violence can reach as many people as possible”.
“This information will not only be visible to the users of public transport in Gran Canaria, it will be present in both urban and non-urban areas where the users of private vehicles will also be able to be aware during their journeys of the fight that we continue to wage against this social scourge. And more now that we are approaching 25N, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women,” says the government delegate.
Guaguas Global and Guaguas Municipal will carry throughout Gran Canaria from today and for 45 days the image of the campaign in lines 1 (Hoya de la Plata/Puerto calle Manuel Becerra) and 9 (Hoya de la Plata/Hospital Dr. Negrín), within the municipal public transport of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and in 1 (LPGC/Mogán) and 103 (LPGC/Agaete) of the insular public transport.
