Every 25 November, Barcelona City Council commemorates the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, observed by the UN since 1999. To mark the date, every year, the City Council launches an awareness campaign communication campaign and organises events in all city districts.
Barcelona is a role model in terms of support services and the prevention of gender-based violence in all age groups. We have many municipal teams that listen to first-person or witness accounts of specific incidents or ongoing situations of gender violence, address the cases, and take action to combat this violence in all settings, whether at home, in public spaces or in the workplace.
The aim is clear: to make us stronger as a city and make Barcelona a city free of gender-based violence.
