The Town Hall of Santa Eulària des Riu, through its Social Welfare and Equality department, has launched a series of activities to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, observed annually on 25 November. The programme will run from 16 November to 9 December and will feature workshops, cultural activities, and awareness-raising initiatives aimed at various age groups.
The first activities will take place from 16 to 23 November with the workshop 'Realidades Inmortales', aimed at seniors from all parishes in the municipality. These sessions, facilitated by a psychologist from the Town Hall's Gent Gran programme, will combine participatory and creative activities to identify situations of good treatment and mistreatment, reflect on personal relationships, and promote bonds based on respect.
The work produced during these workshops, alongside projects from 2025 titled 'Tejiendo buenos tratos', will be showcased in an exhibition at the Centro Cultural de Jesús from 24 November to 9 December. The exhibition will be inaugurated on Tuesday, 24 November, at 18:30.
On Wednesday, 25 November, at 12:00, an institutional manifesto will be read in Plaza de España in recognition of the 25-N. During this event, a minute of silence will be observed in memory of women victims of gender violence and their children.
The programme will continue on Tuesday, 1 December, at 19:00, with a concert by the string and brass ensemble from the Santa Eulària Municipal Music School at the Centro Cultural de Jesús auditorium. The following day, Wednesday, 2 December, at 19:00, the Teatro España will host a screening of the film 'Rita', directed by Paz Vega, which was nominated for a Goya Award for Best New Director.
Additionally, various Youth Points across the municipality will participate in the 25-N programme. From 23 to 27 November, they will offer free activities, including creative workshops, film forums, and youth participation spaces. Details of each proposal will be shared through the Santa Eulària Youth profiles on Instagram and Facebook.
Furthermore, the Municipal Library will set up a bibliographic corner dedicated to the elimination of violence against women from 23 November to 5 December, featuring educational publications and stories. On Thursday, 26 November, at 17:00, a storytelling session titled 'Ranas, princesas y algún príncipe despistado' will be led by Maritza TejeCuentos.
Coinciding with the 25-N, the Social Welfare and Equality department will enhance the dissemination of the 'Respeto y Punto' initiative. This municipal awareness campaign addresses violence against women and will distribute office materials featuring the campaign's image and a QR code linking directly to information available on the municipal website. This campaign provides ongoing information about municipal and other administrative resources for women victims of gender violence and their children, as well as explanatory content on different forms of violence to aid in identification and raise awareness of available support services.
