Almost 50 people have joined this Friday the only concentration that had been called on the island on the occasion of International Women's Day, organized by the Lanzarote Feminist Platform 8M.

While Mararía had decided this year not to go out on the street due to the health situation, and CCOO has only done during the morning a symbolic car caravan, this group did call a demonstration, although emphasizing that it would be "a responsible, legal and authorized concentration by the health authorities".

Under the slogan "The Canarian feminisms have no borders", the concentration began at 6 p.m. in the Ramírez Cerdá park in Arrecife, and chanting slogans has been avoided, "to minimize the risk of contagion by aerosols".

The silence has been broken by some women who have taken the floor on behalf of different sectors, to claim the path that still remains to be traveled to achieve equality.
