Mayor Pilar Barreiro, together with the Chairman of the Regional Assembly, Francisco Celdran, and the Councillor for Women, Rosario Montero, have this morning attended the awards ceremony and the inauguration of the exhibition with 62 photographs selected from all submitted the Women and Photography Competition III in a ceremony that took place in the Regional Assembly.
The Spaniard Rafa Pascual has taken first prize in the contest organized by the Department of Women of the City of Cartagena in the commemoration of March 8, with her photograph 'at work'.
In addition, there were three runners-up: Nuria Segui, Mahon, with his photograph "Silence + '; Antonio Jesús Pérez Gil, Seville, with the photograph' The view from the burqa ', and Diego Volker Verges, Tres Cantos, with' In the Ogooue River. "
The mayor has indicated that this event has gone beyond regional boundaries, because there have been numerous photographs of authors from many other regions of Spain.
This allows us to know the reality of women in many other places, areas and sectors, said Barreiro.
The mayor has emphasized the quality of the works presented at this event, which otherwise is not intended to achieve equality in a society which must be equitable, to end those injustices that exist in our society.
This City Council has pioneered the implementation of some measures aimed not only to equality but to the protection of women victims of violence, he said.
Barreiro recalled that when he started in active politics in this region were very few women engaged in politics and in my party was almost alone.
In this region there was also a coincidence that there was a meeting where government control for the first time in Spain, the spokesman of the opposition was a woman and the president too.
That was then looked forward to and now it comes quite naturally, has reported.
