On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Mararía association and the celebration of International Women's Day on March 8, the social and cultural association for women of Lanzarote, Mararía, will bring together on the island two leading figures in the feminist struggle and against gender violence in Spain who will talk about equality.
These are the lawyer specializing in women's issues and vice president of the Coordinating Body of Women's Organizations for Participation and Equality, Consuelo Abril, and the Deputy Delegate of the Government in Las Palmas and prestigious psychiatrist of the Canary Islands health service, María Teresa Mayans.
The meeting, which will be moderated by journalist Myriam Ybot, will be held on Friday, March 6, starting at 7:00 p.m., at the "Agustín de La Hoz" House of Culture in Arrecife. Access will be free and open to all interested parties.
The worrying figures of gender violence, the political "lukewarmness" in the face of inequality, the importance of associationism or the transmission of values from the classroom "threatened by parental consent" will be some of the issues on which both speakers will express themselves.
"An unavoidable social objective to which we must join"
The president of Mararía, Nieves Rosa Hernández, invites the population of Lanzarote to attend the conversation on equality, "an unavoidable social objective to which we must join those of us who aspire to an existence of coexistence and progress, for our generation and those to come."
Hernández also recalls that in that same cultural space in Arrecife you can visit until the end of April the exhibition 'Heterotopia', by the painter Rosa Vera, organized by the association on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of its constitution, with the collaboration of the Cabildo of Lanzarote and the City Council of Arrecife.
