Several hundred people flock to the violet night of Xàbia
Around 300 people approached the church square to support the 20s manifesto. With him, the feminist and present associations have decreed the state of emergency as a result of serious circumstances that affect the normality of a community, as have been the many cases of sexist murders suffered during the summer, in July one every two days.
Since the beginning of the rally, several of the most emblematic buildings in Xàbia dressed in violet to support the march. These are the Church Square, Church tower, stairs of the square and flat mills, which were illuminated by Bitsound.
"Is it normal for the month of July a woman has been murdered every two days? Isn't it serious that sex crimes have increased 50% during July and August?", they asked during the rally, warning that every 6 hours a violation is reported. "Can we talk about peace if more than 40 people have been killed?"
"That is why despite having pioneer laws in equality and in the fight against gender violence, and that a state pact has recently been signed, for this reason women have already decreed the state of emergency, because daily restrictions are restricted. rights and freedoms. The right of life, that of freedom and sexual integrity, the right to honor and privacy, the right to free movement and the right to live in peace. "
Therefore, women are required to ensure the most appropriate means, to ensure the immediate application of the measures contained in the State Pact, to ensure adequate budgetary allocation and the same informative treatment. "Tonight women demand that their demands be met because the State of Emergency does not star in the lives of women".
The event ended with a few words from Pepa Guardiola on behalf of the Xarxa de Dones de la Marina Alta.
