My guests this morning, in the eight o’clock hour Mariel Gonzalez, Director of Mulier y Fundacion Punto Inicial Plataforma Cultural. The topic gender violence.
“To mitigate the impact of gender violence, our society needs to expand the understanding of this topic. Which goes beyond physical and direct manifestations, It’s imperative to raise out in the spotlight, the various forms of psychological, indirect, symbolic and even systemic violence. Systemic violence should be understood as the result of widespread indifference, rather than as the product of a group of actors’ intention to harm others. In order to eradicate all types of violence against women, we must begin by collectively awarness and promoting actions to counter the effects of gender violence.
Mulier seeks to promote public spaces for dialogue and raise awareness about this issue that affects so many women in Panama. One of initiatives led by this program, aimed to create healthy discussion about gender equality ,are the Cinema Forums, through the analysis of films, people can think about our social gaps , especially the ones related to gender inequality.
