Day for the elimination of violence against women in Creixell

Creixell is dedicated to celebrating the International Day of Violence against women with various events to reflect and make this day visible.

November 25 was declared an international day against gender violence in July 1981, in the context of the first "Feminist Meeting of Latin America and the Caribbean" held in Bogotá (Colombia). At this meeting , women denounced gender violence in the domestic sphere and rape and sexual harassment in the government sphere, including the torture and abuse suffered by many political prisoners.

Violence against women occurs in many areas: physical, sexual, psychological and economic, all of which are interrelated and affect them at different levels.

Women who experience violence suffer a variety of health problems, thereby diminishing their ability to participate in public life. Violence against women affects families and communities of all generations and reinforces other types of violence prevalent in society.
