The conference ‘How to build an afftive-sexual education beyond porn’ of the Social Educator, specialist in gender violence Moroccan Navy that is going to take place this Thursday, November 6, at 18:00 hours moves to the Assembly Hall of the IES Leopoldo Queipo.
The Coordination Unit against Violence against Women of the Government Delegation has taken this decision in view of the large number of requests to attend this talk.
Thus, as explained by the Head of the Unit, Laura Segura, “we have been forced to change the location in the face of the interest that has been awakened and that has exceeded the initial forecasts”. “Given the success of the call, we have made the decision to move the conference to a space with greater capacity,” he explained.
Marina Marroquí is a specialist in gender violence and is the author of several books such as “That’s not love: 30 challenges to work on equality”, “That’s not sex: another sex education is urgent” and “Fly high”.
In the talk he will give in Melilla, Moroccan will address the influence of pornography on the normalization of sexual violence, the construction of desire based on violence and the need for affective and sexual education adapted to current challenges.
“We need to offer our young people healthy referents and real tools to identify and combat sexual violence, both in the digital environment and in everyday life,” said Segura, who has encouraged all citizens to participate.
In the words of the Head of Unit, “eradicating gender violence is a collective task. From the Government Delegation we continue to bet on training, prevention and awareness as fundamental pillars to achieve this.”
Segura has expressed that “prevention begins from the classrooms and from education on equality. Education and awareness-raising are the most powerful tools to eradicate gender-based violence.”
