Abel Losada takes the traveler’s suitcase against gender violence to Valga to bring equal training resources to its neighbors and neighbors

The subdelegate of the Government in Pontevedra, Abel Losada, today delivered the traveler’s suitcase against gender violence (“MAVI”) to the City of Barro during his first institutional visit to the municipality. This initiative, promoted by the Subdelegation’s Unit against Violence against Women, is part of the programme of events organized on the occasion of International Women’s Day, 8-M.
The five suitcases that are part of the project and that have already visited thirteen municipalities in the province of Pontevedra, as well as the Penitentiary Center of A Lama and the Social Insertion Center Carmen Avendaño of Vigo, are intended to promote equality and raise awareness of the need to continue advancing in the fight against male violence through reading. No act of surrender, which took place in the consistorial building, was present the mayor, Xosé Manuel Fernández Abralde, the deputy mayor, José Sanmartín, and the councilor for Equality, Digna Lía.
The subdelegate stressed the importance of rural municipalities joining this initiative, since access to this type of content, in these areas, is more limited. Abel Losada also congratulated the City Council for its commitment to this initiative and to equality. “In order to achieve a more egalitarian, just and free of male violence, administrations must work together and in a coordinated manner,” he said.
The suitcase, which contains more than twenty books written by women, will remain in the City of Barro for three months, after which it will continue its journey through other municipalities, shelters, associations of women victims of gender violence, libraries, women’s information centers or social services of the province that request it.
