At 12 noon, dozens of women have flooded the Plaza de España with messages, slogans, banners and a "purple" vindication in clothes and accessories to commemorate International Women's Day.

This group, led mostly by women, but where some men were allowed to glimpse, has come to the Bullas City Council to hear the manifesto read by the Mayor Maria Dolores Muñoz who has indicated that "it is about the struggle of all and all be unique. "

The commemoration of this Day, which has become increasingly demanding, began with the reading of the manifesto by the Mayor, which highlighted the global manifestation of women in their determination and strength in the fight against discrimination, thus contributing to extend the human rights of women throughout the world.

"Sexual harassment, violence and discrimination against women have monopolized the headlines and the public discourse with a growing determination in favor of change," said María Dolores Muñoz, who added that "International Women's Day 2018 is an opportunity to transform this momentum into measures to empower women in all environments. "

Also, the first Edil has recognized that although the advances in equality have been important "there is still much to achieve how to eliminate the digital divide, achieve wage equality or banish the idea that the conciliation concerns them."

In this regard, he stressed that "society in general and public authorities, in particular, have the obligation to seek all means aimed at achieving objectives that achieve a more democratic, more just and more supportive society."

After reading the manifesto for Women's Day, other women have been encouraged to read fragments of poems, slogans, or writings made by them vindicating the struggle of women for their participation, on an equal footing with men, in society and in its full development as a person.
