Last November 22nd we celebrated two important dates at our school: November 25th, International Day of the Elimination of Violence Against Women and 1November 16th, Flamenco Day.

The event started with the performance of "La puerta violeta" by Rozalén, a song that makes us reflect on the pain caused by gender violence, but also about the strength and courage of those who try to break that suffering circle. 

"La puerta violeta" is a hymn for hope, which reminds us that there is always a way out, a safe refuge and a future where women can live without fear.

Next, we read a manifesto against gender violence, in which not only denounces, but also vindicates the problem and makes us aware of it through reflection.

Gender violence continues to devastate lives, physically and emotionally. Despite the progress, despite the constant struggle of organizations, institutions and brave people, the figures remain alarming. Every day, women continue to be victims of abuse, harassment, physical, psychological, sexual and economic violence. It is not an individual problem for each victim: it is a collective problem that affects us all, because gender violence dehumanizes us as a society.

In our manifesto, we express clearly and firmly that enough is enough: enough tolerance towards violence. Enough of silence. Enough of indifference. We commit to act, to not remain silent in the face of injustice and to demand a society where all people, regardless of their gender, can live free of violence. And we kept a minute of silence. That it is not just silence, but a moment of respect and memory for all the victims who have been taken from our lives by gender violence. And it is a minute of commitment, because, although silence unites us in pain, our actions and our voice are what can change the future.

Later on, we inaugurated our new Savaterian Street Plaques, an initiative with which we have assigned names to the hallways and stairs of our center. With this action, we seek to open a door to a space where peace and freedom reign, and where, upon entering each morning, we can all feel that we are entering a place where emotional security and mutual respect are always our priority. Our hallways, our classrooms and every corner must be a reflection of our relationships based on equality, respect and the peaceful resolution of conflicts. The new hallway and staircase names are not just labels, they are symbols of what we aspire to be as a community.

Then, we had some Flamenco dance shows, which, in this context, acquire a deep and special meaning. Flamenco, more than an artistic expression, is a cry of the soul, a language that connects directly with our deepest emotions. Flamenco, with its strength and beauty, allows us to transform pain into art, and through its movements, a whole world full of emotions is expressed, a mixture of struggle, hope and courage. In this context, dancing flamenco becomes an act of resistance, a way to recover our inner strength, to free ourselves from tension and to recover our self-esteem. Flamenco is not only a celebration of our culture, but a way to show our solidarity with those who need it most. Every tap, every turn, every movement is an affirmation of self-worth, the dignity of women and their strength.

Thanks to everyone who has made this event possible. To the students who with so much effort and dedication have prepared and offered their performances. To the teachers who have worked tirelessly to coordinate and guide this event. And, of course, to the entire educational community for their support, their presence and their commitment.

Together, we can build a better future.

Our 1º ESO students went yesterday to Teatro Villamarta for the show "Va por ellas", performed by Las Mónicas.

And they learnt a little bit more about equality and the role of women -this time artists in history- in a ludic and funny way.

We start a ney academic year with more excitement and new ideas to share with Savater people. We know that many of you participate in every activity and we would like, if possible, to meet the requests you made last year.

We start working along with Plans School: a Place for Peace y Healthy Youth to to cover as many aspects as possible.

We thank Isabel Mª, Raquel, Cristina, María, Esperanza, for telling us about their experience as women in different generations. And we especially thank Mercedes, who has been able to witness the positive changes for women in a life of 95 years.

The exhibition "Letras de Mujeres"  was to be seen at the main hall.

(together with some activities releated to them)

4ºC Ethic Values students made these beautiful 🌹to celebrate Saint Valentine.

"A Tribute to Ours"

To celebrate February 11th: "Girls and Women in Science", last February 8th  we had Mª del Carmen Ortega, from the Local Equality and Diversity Service, who showed us different women from Jerez who made history but were barely named.

Besides, we could check how women's jobs in the new Agenda 22/23 (21st century) are linked to science, while the former Agenda 21/22 (20th century) were linked to Andalusian folklore. 

Last January 19th we had the conference Men for Equality, by Daniel Leal, from the Local Equality Service. Students in 3ºE made the most of it. 

November 25th 2022

International Men's Day has been celebrated on November 19th since 1992, with the aim of focusing on men's health, highlighting the contributions of men to society and promoting gender equality, tolerance and peace. Some organisations, such as World Health Organization, support this initiative, so that it is included in the international agenda.

For this reason, in 2003 the Movember Foundation launched the Movember movement (named after moustache and November), which consists of growing a moustache or using it as a brand image to raise awareness about testicles or prostate cancer, as well as to ensure the mental health of men since they present the highest suicide rates.

International Men's Day also seeks to promote six main objectives that were established in 2009 and that are linked to the Universal Children's Day, held on November 20th.

These objectives are: to promote positive and more normalized male role models, to recognize the contribution of men to society, to focus on male health, to show certain discriminations against men in some areas, to promote equality between men and women, and to create a safer world where full potential can be achieved.
