The subdelegate of the Government in Lugo, Isabel Rodríguez, highlighted today in Monforte the need to train society in equality through the reading of feminist texts that contribute to ending with sexist and unequal behaviors. This was affirmed in a new installment of MAVI books, the traveler’s suitcase against gender violence, accompanied by the head of the Violence against Women Unit of the Subdelegation, Maria Luisa Castro; the deputy mayor of Monforte, Gloria Mª Prada, and the councilor for Women and Equality, Margarita López.
The subdelegate gave 11 books for use by the municipal library of Monfortina, celebrating the good reception that the program is having in the province. In this sense, he stressed the imprint that this resource can leave “used to remove consciences and change machista habits still present in a society that today continues to be marked by sexist and patriarchal behaviors.”
Isabel Rodríguez thanked “the receptiveness of the deputy mayor and the councilor to develop this program, because from the Government we work hand in hand with the municipalities to address this issue of state, creating awareness about a problem that affects us all, and that is also a matter that follows the agenda and that continues to cause suffering and inequality throughout the country,” said the deputy delegate.
Thus, he recalled that in the fight against this type of violence it is indispensable to education and the promotion of reading. “That is why these books are delivered that will be available to citizens in the municipal public library, and that promote critical thinking and the adoption of an attitude of revulsion against behaviors that perpetuate stereotypes and gender roles.”
