Falla Oeste Manifesto: «Every day is 25N, also in the Fallas»
La Falla Oeste, on this November 25, International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, we want to express our strongest complaint against all types of sexist violence, a brutal manifestation of inequality between women and men and a serious attack against human rights.
From the delegation of equality we want to express our rejection for the murder of each one of the dead women in the whole State at the hands of their partners or ex-partners, which makes a greater and more forceful commitment of the public powers, administrations and institutions as well as of society as a whole, for the elimination of this social scourge that has its roots in the inequality of power relations between women and men.
Policies of social awareness and sensitization are essential also in popular festivals to end this social situation. From the West Falla Equality delegation we will continue leading initiatives to raise awareness from the party on the values of equality and respect between women and men.
From the West Falla we claim full equality between women and men and that is why we also apply it in our acts, parties, in language, actions and statutes where all falleras and falleros are equal and we are part of the falla in equal conditions without conditioning factors having all and all the same rights and obligations. Because every day is 25N, also in the fallas.
All sectors of society, including the failures, have to reflect on equality between women and men. Below, we leave you the verses where the failures of 2019 expressed this reflection along with a scene where the protagonists of the film "The Others" were the center of criticism:
The society passes for a moment
that one of the most recent issues
sense dubte is the one with the equal
ja tocava Lluitar per eixe reconeixement
All we have to contribute
for l'ansiada equaltat
it must be an asfaltat camí
Sense pedres who try to stun
It is not an easy gens tavern
finish both something so arrelat
but with force and constància
the trip will not be so difficult
donant-mos molta seguretat
to determine the distance
Tots podem i must contribute
perquè així creguem
the menyspreu ends
