The Barrika City Council and the Emakumeen Hitza association have organized an extensive program to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, under the slogan «Emakumeok bizirik, aske eta beldur barik» (Women alive, free, and without fear).

The municipality will host a series of activities in the coming weeks, with the main goal of making all forms of aggression against women visible, advocating for equality, and offering empowerment tools to the women of the municipality. All events will take place at the association's premises.
The program will begin on November 14th, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, with a self-defense workshop. The workshop is aimed at the women of the municipality and will offer physical and psychological resources for self-protection and the prevention of risky situations.
The main event on November 25th will feature several activities. At 10:30 AM, a workshop will be held to detect daily microaggressions, focusing on subtle and normalized attitudes that perpetuate gender inequality. Subsequently, at 12:30 PM, citizens are invited to participate in a protest rally at the Women's Roundabout.
At this main rally, an emotional institutional and neighborhood tribute will be paid to Aintzane Garay, as a reminder of the municipality's firm commitment against machista violence.
The program will foster collective reflection starting at 5:30 PM with the screening of the film Miss Carbón in a film forum. The film tells the story of Carlita, a trans woman who fights to access a sector historically closed to women (mining), aiming to open a space for debate on the intersections of oppressions and the need to build safe and diverse spaces for all women.
