4.2. International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women

November 2018: students from Institut Joan Solà read a manifesto with texts in Catalan, Spanish, English and French, showing their will to erradicate violence against women.

On the occasion of the international day against the violence towards women, the pupils in class III A (secondary school) of the IC3 "Don Bosco- Francesco D'Assisi", went to a local library and, guided by their Italian teacher and by the owner of the library, have analyzed the gender stereotypes in our society, starting from the Disney fairy tales up to the advertising sports.

After reading some paragraphs extrapolated by several books on the subject, they expressed their ideas and told personal stories.

In order to raise awareness among school staff and students on the issue of women's violence, the school has organized a conference with experts such as: a geneticist, a psychotherapist, the councilor for youth policies and the mayor of the city. Some secondary classses took part to this event to be informed about episodes of violence against women, possible causes and give them the tools to defend themselves or other women.
