"The gender perspective is the search for equality to avoid discrimination or situations of marginalization, violence and injustice, which

does not fit in any way with a fun, festive dinner with DJs and karaoke

," added the same sources.

From the Ministry of Equality they condemn "all those actions or activities that

trivialize public policies to eradicate gender violence

" and have warned that they will go "to the last consequences to stop this type of practices."

Likewise, they ask all public administrations for "maximum collaboration to make

the best use" of this financing.

to raise awareness and sensitize

to society in equality, respect, coexistence and fight against sexist violence", they have insisted.

Equality allocated 4,615.48 euros in 2023 to the Council of Cerdedo Cotobade

(Pontevedra) in the context of the State Pact, funds that are assigned to local entities for "programs aimed at gender violence."

On the poster for this Council's dinner, in which the Equality logos appear, there is an illustration of

four girls partying and the motto "let's celebrate the strength of women."
