Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (EFE) victims of sexual violence provided for in the law of the only yes is yes.
Santana, who is running as a candidate for the Presidency of the Government of the Canary Islands of Podemos, has indicated that negotiations are underway for the location of these first two “great centers”, which will later be deployed throughout the rest of the islands, at the same time that he has indicated that although the law set deadlines for its implementation, the Ministry of Equality has given more time.
It is not only about getting an infrastructure but also about forming a human team that attends them 24 hours a day, indicated Santana, who has also ensured that there are sufficient resources for its creation.
The Minister of Social Rights has defended the “very important achievements achieved with the law of only yes is yes for women, which mean” more protection and that they do not feel alone but accompanied by the public administration on this difficult and hard path as it is the power to report a sexual assault.”
The Podemos Canarias candidate has also referred to the reform of the aforementioned law that has been debated this Tuesday in Congress and has said that she is “very saddened that the PSOE has placed itself on the side of political forces that for a long time have been questioning feminist advances, such as the PP or VOX, which denies the existence of sexist violence, trans and LGTBIQ+ realities, he stressed.
“Seeing the PSOE on the eve of 8M voting with two forces that we believe are retrograde in terms of the rights of women and the LGTBIQ+ collective seems sad to me,” he stressed.
Santana has made these statements on the occasion of an act that Podemos Canarias has held this Tuesday afternoon on the “Feminist Conquests” on the occasion of 8M.
As he explained, with this act they have tried to “warm up the engines for the great day of women” and share the work carried out these years in the institutions of the islands, as well as the progress achieved for the sake of a “more egalitarian and fairer” society. ”.
Representatives of Podemos in different institutions, such as the Deputy Minister of Social Rights of the Government of the Canary Islands, Gemma Martínes, or the Minister of Equality of the Cabildo de Gran Canaria, Sara Ramírez, have intervened in the act with the aim, in addition to sharing experiences, to continue advancing and delving into the search for more rights and equality, Santana has indicated.
The journalist Cristina Fallarás, who has also participated, has commented to the journalists facing the 8M that the “achievement that we have left is that men support us, that they make their revolution.”
“We have been reading and studying about ourselves for years, recovering what we are and what we have not been, but there is no parallelism on their part,” said Fallarás, who has assured that “as long as men are not reviewed, we will not get anywhere ”.
According to the journalist, “a very violent response comes to us, especially through social networks, and thanks to the conquests, because everything that has been achieved is becoming what is called the manosphere, networks structured against women, who are being very hard”.
If there is not a part of men that reviews itself and sees where it comes from and admits that there are things that are badly done, “we will not get anywhere”, Fallarás has concluded. EFE
