Herencia will once again celebrate the International Women’s Day with a program of activities taking place during the first days of March, extending into the following week with offerings targeted at primary and secondary school students. The agenda, coordinated by the Women’s Center alongside various municipal departments and educational institutions, includes the signing of the VioGén protocol, a health talk on menopause, the institutional event on March 8, and various cultural and educational activities.
Under the motto “With M for Women”, the programming aims to blend institutional elements with awareness-raising and preventive actions, particularly focused on young people, during a time when education on equality and efforts against gender violence remain high on the social agenda.
A Focus on Protection and Visibility
The program kicks off on March 4 with the signing of the VioGén Protocol between the Town Hall and the Local Police, scheduled for 10:00 AM in the Plenary Hall. This step is aimed at enhancing coordination and support for women victims of gender violence.
That same day, at 12:00 PM, a commemorative banner will be placed on the facade of the Town Hall, serving as a symbolic gesture to visibly mark the beginning of the March 8 events in the town.
Menopause: An Informative Health Talk
On March 5, a proposal centered on health and prevention will take place. At 5:30 PM, the Courtyard of the Town Hall will host a talk on menopause led by Dr. Eva Soledad Moreno Maíz, a family physician in Herencia. This session aims to provide information about the changes associated with this stage and to address any questions in an approachable manner.
Institutional Event on March 8: Manifesto, Acknowledgments, and Music
On March 6, at 6:00 PM, the institutional event will be held in the Courtyard of the Town Hall. The program includes the reading of a manifesto, the presentation of awards from the Plastic Arts Contest, and the Elvira Fernández Almoguera Casas Awards. The cultural portion will be complemented by a musical performance by Javier Pelayo along with poetry readings.
Educational Activities: Theater, Magic, and Prevention
The agenda will expand the following week with proposals for the educational community:
- March 10: At the Municipal Auditorium, secondary school students will attend the musical “Juliet,” the winning work of the Young Stage Contest organized by the Town Hall of Albacete.
- March 11: In the Courtyard of the Town Hall, a “Magic for Equality” show will be presented by Magician Fran Qué, aimed at primary school children.
- Additionally, during these dates, secondary school students will participate in workshops on “Prevention in the Use of Pornography,” led by social educator Pablo García.
With this calendar, Herencia aims to promote March 8 not just as a central event but as a supportive series of educational and awareness activities to foster equality from an early age through different approaches: institutional, health-related, cultural, and preventive.
