The Arucas City Council, through the Department of Equal Opportunities Policies between Women and Men, has presented the program of events for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, which will be held on November 25. The mayor of Arucas, Juan Jesús Facundo, and the councilor for the area, Beatriz Herrera Suárez, highlighted at a press conference the institutional commitment of the council in the fight against violence against women, which is reflected in the constant work carried out by all the departments with the aim of continuing to move towards a more just and equal society. The program designed for this edition includes training, awareness-raising and educational activities, through which the prevention of gender-based violence and equality will be addressed from different perspectives.
