  • The group chose the Redován Town Hall to present its charity calendar, the proceeds of which will go towards the purchase of therapeutic material

The association for people with functional diversity ‘El árbol de los sueños’ (The tree of dreams) presented its activity today in the plenary hall of Redován Town Hall. The Consistory has given its facilities to this organization born in the municipality that aims to provide support and facilitate access to therapies for people with disabilities. At the same time, its members have taken the opportunity to present their solidarity calendar and to inform about all the initiatives they are developing in the municipality.

The president of the association, María Isabel Cartagena, appeared alongside María del Pilar Heredia, secretary, and Javier Andreo, treasurer. “We wanted to make ‘El árbol de los sueños’ officially known and for people to know what we do,” explained Cartagena. For this reason, he thanked “the City Council, its mayoress, Nely Ruiz, and the Department of Social Welfare led by Marisol Ibáñez, for their collaboration and for giving us the opportunity to do so from this press room,” he added.

“The entire proceeds from our activities are destined to defray the costs of materials for our children’s therapies, as we have not yet been able to access any subsidies,” said the president. The association has been active in the municipality for four months, and has a space in the Centro Social de la Tercera Edad de Redován. The solidarity calendar features, by way of presentation, “all those who make up the association, including some of our children and also the therapists and staff who carry out the therapies,” said María del Pilar Heredia. The Redován Local Police officers were also involved, “and we would like to thank them immensely for their collaboration, as our children had some unforgettable moments while the photographs were being taken,” she said. The calendar will cost 5 euros, and those who wish to purchase it can find it in the offices of the association, in the Town Hall, and in various collaborating businesses in the municipality.

In addition to the calendar, ‘El árbol de los sueños’ has various initiatives underway to raise funds, such as charity raffles, the sale of cloth sanitary masks “approved and available in various sizes, with a price of 5 euros,” said its treasurer, Javier Andreo. There has also been a distribution of solidarity piggy banks in the shops of the municipality “so that anyone who can lend a hand, can do so in an easier and closer way, while carrying out their daily shopping,” added Andreo. In the same way, and on the occasion of Father’s Day, this Friday will be held a draw for a bathroom furniture, “for which you can request ballots in exchange for a donation of 2 euros both in the association and in the hairdresser Navoder or Carpentry Illán Ortega de Redován”.

For her part, the mayoress of the municipality, Nely Ruiz, congratulated the members of the association for the important work they carry out, “which is nothing more than fighting for these children to have all the opportunities available to them”. Ruiz added that “as the Town Hall, it is our job to help in any way we can with any initiative that benefits all the people of Redovan, as is the case with ‘El árbol de los sueños'”. The councillor hopes that this journey that has just begun will be prolonged and consolidated over the years “because all help is little for people who, due to functional diversity, need to make a greater effort than others in their learning and development processes, and with the work of associations such as ‘El árbol de los sueños’ they achieve this”.

La Mancomunidad La Vega crea ‘El club de los hombres que saben querer’ dentro de las acciones del 25N

Esta mañana, ha sido presentada por el Presidente de la Mancomunidad la Vega y alcalde de Redován, Emilio Fernández, las acciones que la Mancomunidad la Vega ha programado con motivo del 25N, Día de la Eliminación de la Violencia contra las Mujeres. Las acciones de este año se centran en la campaña “El club de los hombres que saben querer”. Esta campaña es una invitación a los hombres a adoptar nuevas maneras de relacionarse con el otro género, de forma respetuosa, madura e igualitaria en el trato y en las relaciones. Hablamos del ejercicio de una nueva masculinidad, de un cambio de rol masculino libre de estereotipos y sin el corsé del machismo, de un modelo de relación con el otro género basado en el respeto, la confianza, el apoyo y la igualdad.

Es por lo tanto, una invitación a todos los hombres para que se comprometan y adopten una posición firme y activa en la lucha contra la violencia hacia las mujeres, una lucha que también es cosa de los hombres. En el marco de este programa, se ha elaborado una campaña de sensibilización, bajo el lema Unete al Club de los Hombres que Saben Querer que se refuerza con Tips asociadas a la campaña para redes sociales. Se editará un video protagonizado por hombres que nos hablan como es el hombre que sabe querer. Esta acción de participación se complementa con una minisite www.elclubdeloshombresquesabenquerer.com, que se actualizará para ser un espacio compartido que incluya recursos y contenidos sobre nuevas masculinidades y se pueda registrar el compromiso delos hombres en la lucha contra la violencia de género

Otra de las realidades a las que se quiere dar respuesta, es a la alta incidencia de violencia detectada en los jóvenes, sobretodo de la violencia de control (el 38 % de chicas con pareja entre 16 y 24 años reconocen haberla sufrido), violencia control que se ha visto favorecida y agravada por las redes sociales Para ello se van a realizar dos talleres educativos para secundaria. El taller “El hombre que sabe querer” para alumnos de 4º ESO y 1º Bat de los IES de San Miguel y de Redován y el taller “No me toques el Whassap” para los alumnos de 2º dela ESO.

Esta propuesta se completa con una jornada de arte urbano contra la violencia de género en la que 3 artistas del graffitti van a realizar en vivo su interpretación  del lema de la campaña. Durante la elaboración de los murales se contará con una cantante rapera que aportará su versión a través de canciones inéditas en clave feminista. Será el día 25 de noviembre en la plaza del Ayuntamiento de Redován y el 1 de diciembre en el paseo de San Miguel de Salinas. La complejidad de un fenómeno como violencia de género ha de abordarse con una visión integral y transversal, desde esa perspectiva se han organizado las Jornadas Violencia de Género, Una Mirada Integral que se celebrarán el 30 de noviembre en el Centro Social y Cultural Ricardo Ruiz Poveda de Redován en el que se van a exponer experiencias de abordaje e intervención desde diferentes enfoques y con expertos del ámbito educativo, judicial, asistencial y mediático. La inscripción es gratuita y la pueden realizar a través de la web de la mancomunidad

Asimismo se van a realizar acciones complementarias como la representación de la obra de teatro Nora y la Casa de Muñecas de Ibsen, posiblemente la primera obra feminista de la historia (se realiza en los cuatro municipios con el apoyo de la Diputación de Alicante) y la experiencia del uso de animales en las terapias de atención a mujeres del proyecto ESCAN presentado por Afammer  el jueves 22 de noviembre en Redován. Estas acciones organizadas por la Agencia de Igualdad de la Mancomunidad se complementan con acciones municipales como la adhesión al Manifiesto contra la violencia de género de la FVMP que será aprobado en los plenos municipales y  la colocación de pancartas en los Ayuntamientos con motivo del 25 de noviembre. Para Emilio Fernández, Presidente de la Mancomunidad, “esta programación es una buena muestra del intenso trabajo de la Mancomunidad en la lucha contra la violencia de género, un trabajo que va más allá del 25N y que se lleva a cabo durante todo el año con otras iniciativas como la campaña contra el acoso callejero #notienesmipermiso. Luchar para la eliminación de la violencia contra las mujeres, apoyar a las mujeres victimas de esta lacra y a sus familia , es un compromiso y un deber que nos toca como administración y en la que vamos a seguir dedicando todos los esfuerzos y recursos que estén en nuestras manos”.

Las acciones del proyecto del Club de los Hombres que Saben Querer han sido financiadas con ayuda de la Obra Social la Caixa. Las Jornadas de Violencia de Género, una mirada integral han contado con el apoyo de la Caja Rural Central y de Iovis Abogados.
