On the occasion of the celebration of 25N, International Day for the Elimination of Violence, the Department of Equality has presented the campaign to support victims of machismo that this 2020 has as its motto 'You are not alone'.
This awareness campaign is joined by the support of the entire town for women victims of gender violence. A support in which all the pharmacies of Xàbia participate as well as the tourism offices. And it is that, each one of these places becomes, from today, a purple point to give help to all those women who receive sexist violence.
The councilor, Montse Villaverde, has indicated that with this action a permanent violet point is installed that can be accessed at any time and day of the week since being in pharmacies, which are distributed throughout the municipal term, open 24 hours, taking into Note that there is always someone on duty and being an accessible place "for which in the end everyone ends up going through".
Initiative provides more help to the victims than the campaign carried out so far, with purple dots being installed temporarily at popular festivals or festivals. In addition, the tourist offices also become permanent spaces, which are easily located by people who are passing through.
To provide the correct attention and help in the face of the arrival of a woman who suffers or has suffered some type of sexist aggression, the pharmacy and tourist info staff have participated in training to learn how to act in each case.
Also, within the awareness campaign this year, from Equality have made badges so that everyone knows that they are a purple dot and 60.000 paper bags to dispense medicines and in which you can read a decalogue of advice on how to act before an assault.
Another material that will be distributed among the population are the reading points that have the 'violentometer', a series of situations that, if suffered, should put the woman on alert and make her react.
