International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women

On the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we aim to combat the sexist attitudes and behaviors that affect women in public transportation.

On November 22 at 11:30 a.m., we will hold an awareness-raising event to stand for zero tolerance against any act of gender-based violence.

During the event, a manifesto will be read by the Unitary Platform Against Gender Violence, and there will be several speeches. The event will continue with a performance by singer-songwriter Gemma Humet, who will perform her song "Ales al vent" with piano and voice.
