NOVEMBER 25th INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR THE ELIMINATION OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN
The Equality and Coexistence Commission of the Adult Education Center of Torrent organizes various activities to help eradicate gender-based violence, such as creating awareness posters and developing “femiglossaries” with terms of Anglo-Saxon origin and newly coined words that highlight often normalized gender inequalities. These glossaries are available in Valencian, Spanish, English, French, and Romanian. The femiglossaries are designed as books with an index listing all the terms and pages where each word’s definition appears. Each page is illustrated with an image. On pages where there is a blinking image, it indicates that if you click on it, the image will enlarge for better viewing.
The Valencian version also includes the game Obrim portes cap a la igualtat while the English version features a video in which the terms are explained and pronounced by Ruchika Kilaparthi, an American and former language assistant at the school.

In addition, in collaboration with the Casa de la Dona of Torrent, talks and conferences are held, along with other initiatives.
The Escola d’Adults de Torrent took part in the activities organised to mark 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. Throughout the week, a collaborative mural featuring butterflies was created, where students shared messages rejecting gender-based violence in different languages, including Spanish, Valencian, English and Ukrainian.
In addition, posters with butterflies displayed the names of women and victims of vicarious violence who have been murdered in this year.
With the collaboration of the Casa de la Dona de Torrent, workshops on conflict resolution in relationships were also delivered to ESPA students in modules I and III.
