Orihuela lights up to say no to violence against women

Orihuela was one of many cities carrying out public acts in the fight against gender violence

Wednesday 25th November is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, a day on which institutions around the world focus attention on the never-ending fight against gender violence.

41 women have been killed by their partner or ex-partner in Spain this year.

Orihuela was amongst many public buildings which bathed their buildings in lavender to mark the occasion and reiterate the commitment of the council to educational programmes, public awareness programmes and social actions designed to contribute to the fight against gender violence.

The Department of Equality and Attention to Gender Violence of Orihuela had a clear message,

Together we must put an end to it.
You are not alone, report it.
