The subdelegate of the Government in Lugo, Isabel Rodríguez, delivered this morning in the city of Chantada to “MAVI: the Travelling Suitcase Against Gender Violence”, with 11 books to work for an effective and real equality between men and women through the reading of texts with a feminist perspective for both adults and adolescents.
The deputy delegate and the Head of the Gender Violence Unit of the Subdelegation, María Luisa Castro, presented the MAVI to the mayor, Manuel Lorenzo Varela, with the aim of promoting curiosity about titles among the neighborhood and, consequently, learning to form a society critical of the system of male domination and convinced of the struggle for equality between the sexes.
“We want to promote reflection on gender violence, so we bet and facilitate municipalities to join in the fight against this structural violence, defending that public administrations must continue to offer programs that contribute to the awareness of society,” said Rodríguez, recalling that “the incessant trickle of male crimes obliges them to overturn us with different measures, also with the permanent education of society, for this issue of state that seriously affects women and girls for the simple fact of seal.”
The deputy delegate also defended “the municipal nature of the initiative with a fundamental role of the municipalities, among which it continues to be very well received, reaching the large part of the population and also rural municipalities that may have less facilities to access this type of materials”.
These new books are in addition to those of Viveiro, Sarria, Vilalba, Quiroga, Trabada, Cervantes and Meira, as well as those of the penitentiary centers of Bonxe and Monterroso. Currently, there are 3 suitcases that are traveling through the province, specifically in the municipalities of Barreiros, Cervantes and now Chantada, with a total of 36 books.
