The Agaete City Council commemorates November 25th, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, with a program of activities focused on preventing digital and economic violence.

The initiative, part of the project 'Rural Women Disconnected from Digital and Economic Control. Free and Safe', is funded by the Ministry of Equality. Its objective is to promote equality and prevent gender-based violence, with special attention to digital control and economic dependence experienced by women.
The project aims to dismantle the invisible chains limiting the freedom of rural women, providing them with tools to identify these forms of control and promoting their autonomy, empowerment, and safety. Actions focus on recognizing these situations and fostering their prevention and elimination.
The program is complemented by awareness materials for the entire municipal population, aiming to foster egalitarian, co-responsible, and non-violent attitudes. The City Council invites citizens to get involved in building a municipality free from violence against women.
