With the slogan "Controlling, humiliating, or harassing a woman through social media is also sexist violence," the La Plana Mancomunitat has focused on digital violence against women for November 25th. The campaign aims to recognize, prevent, and combat these forms of violence that manifest through screens, social media, and other digital communication channels.
The program, running through November and early December, includes workshops, educational activities, cultural proposals, and institutional events. The goal is to raise public awareness, with a special focus on adolescents and young people, and to reaffirm collective commitment against sexist violence. The initiative involves town councils, educational institutions, and local organizations.
The president of the La Plana Mancomunitat, Pere Medina Serrahima, emphasized the shared responsibility in combating all forms of sexist violence. This commemoration is part of the "Caring for People" axis of the Mancomunitat's Action Plan (PAM) 2023-2027.
The campaign seeks to highlight behaviors of control, humiliation, and harassment that can become normalized in digital personal relationships, promoting prevention, equality, and co-education for respectful relationships. Activities include specific workshops on digital violence against women and educational interventions in secondary schools.
Several municipalities within the La Plana Mancomunitat are organizing events throughout November and December. In Aiguafreda, highlights include a selection of books on mental health and the fight against sexist violence at Les Escoles Velles. Balenyà offers a book space "The protagonists are them," ceramic workshops, presentations, a theater performance, and an escape room for equality. El Brull hosts the "Bonds that Care" workshop. Folgueroles inaugurates an image against sexist and LGTBI-phobic violence in sports. Muntanyola holds a manifesto reading and candle lighting. Sant Martí de Centelles proposes a "vermouth concert," a women's circle, and a candle lighting. Santa Eulàlia de Riuprimer features activities like "PIDCES – Violence Thermometer" and a manifesto reading. Seva organizes the "AT A CLICK" workshop on digital violence. Taradell offers workshops, an exhibition, storytelling, a performance, a cineforum, a concert, and forum theater. Finally, Tona holds workshops, exhibitions, and forum theater, while Viladrau organizes Zumba classes, book presentations, a walk, a manifesto reading, and games.
The La Plana Mancomunitat has also developed the campaign "Machismo Rejection," a participatory project aimed at raising public awareness and engaging citizens in the necessary change for human relationships free from discrimination. The Mancomunitat, composed of 14 towns in Osona and El Moianès, is a public entity that ensures the efficient delivery of public services for its municipalities.
