The Town Hall of Lebrija has launched the campaign 'For a summer free of male violence', which reminds that support resources remain active throughout the summer.
The Town Hall of Lebrija presented this Friday, August 7, the campaign 'For a summer free of male violence', an initiative of the Monitoring Commission against Gender Violence to raise awareness among citizens and remind them that support, protection, and accompaniment resources for victims remain fully operational during the summer months.
The presentation was attended by the Equality delegate, María Labrador, the Social Welfare delegate, Teresa Serrano, and the Education delegate, Paula García, accompanied by representatives from the entities that make up the Commission: the Municipal Women's Information Centre, Civil Guard, Local Police, Health Centre of Lebrija, HARE Lebrija, Social Services, and the Social Forum of Lebrija.
During the event, the Equality delegate warned that summer can become a period of greater vulnerability for many women due to increased time spent with the aggressor, disruption of routines, and heightened control situations.
"Gender violence does not take a holiday, but neither do the resources for attention, information, protection, and support. In Lebrija, we remain active," she emphasized.
Under the slogan 'For a summer free of male violence', the campaign sends a message of closeness and support to women who may be suffering from gender violence. The poster includes the message 'You are not alone. Not even in summer', reminding that there are free, confidential resources available 24 hours a day.
The Commission calls on both women who may be experiencing this violence and their surroundings to seek help in any risky situation. Available resources include the phone number 016, 900 200 999, the WhatsApp service 600 000 016, as well as 112 for emergency situations. These are complemented by services provided by the Municipal Women's Information Centre, the ATENPRO system, and the VioGén System, coordinated by the Local Police and Civil Guard.
The campaign also aims to engage the entire community, appealing to collective responsibility to combat this form of violence and reinforcing the importance of collaboration between administrations, security forces, health professionals, and social entities.
