The Table “Let’s talk. For Equality and against Gender Violence”, which took place today at the Melilla Campus of the University of Granada (UGR) has addressed the advances in equality from the legislative field in our country “that have put Spain at the head of Europe and, practically, of the whole world in many of the laws that have to do with gender violence and in the laws that have to do with equality”.
The Head of the Coordination Unit Against Violence Against Women, Laura Segura, explained that today’s activity, organized by the entity that manages it in collaboration with the three faculties that of the UGR, Ingesa, Prosecutor’s Office and State Security Forces and Corps, has been addressed “the achievements in equality but also the challenges we have as a society to continue improving in the achievement of real equality and in a more just and democratic society.”
The Conference focused on the three topics, the aforementioned legislative field, as well as the health field, -to detect and identify cases of gender violence in the health sector- and the educational field, to know how to prevent gender violence from the earliest ages and guarantee equality.
“Like every March 8, we must continue to claim and commemorate equality because it is not yet consolidated. We have taken important steps, but they are slow and must continue to consolidate,” explained Segura.
The Head of Unit has said that feminism is putting more focus on sexual violence. “It is a hidden violence, since almost 18% is denounced, as is the exploitation of women in terms of trafficking,” he said. She has also said that it is necessary to make these situations visible so that society is aware “that gender violence is mainly the most terrible manifestation of inequality”.
