Campaign Against Male Violence at the San Bernabé Fair

Marbella will launch an anti-gender violence campaign under the slogan "You Are Not Alone" during the Fair and Festivities in honor of the patron saint San Bernabé, which start tomorrow. The campaign aims to ensure the safety of women during the festivities and to raise awareness among residents about this scourge. The Day Fair will feature a Purple Point which will provide services from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM on the first day of the Fair and from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM on the remaining days of the event. This location will offer advice on sexual abuse and assaults, chemical submission, and will have various informational and awareness-raising materials. Additionally, all booths and bars will have signage that includes a QR code providing direct access to public service information. The Purple Point will be located next to the security forces' stations to facilitate immediate attention and advice to the victim in case of a complaint. "Any woman who suffers or witnesses any type of gender-based violence will have professional support and access to all available resources," states Isabel Cintado, the delegate for Equality and Diversity, who highlights the collaboration of associations and volunteers in launching the Purple Point. The initiative is complemented by two workshops that were held for students during the month of May under the title "Chemical Submission and Sexual Abuse, Learning to Recognize Them."
