The book will be given to the students in Orihuela primary schools to “make them aware of the damage caused by inequality, promoting co-education, coexistence and the management of emotions from an early age.”
Mayor of Education López explained that “we value actions like this from the educational framework to eradicate all kinds of activities contrary to equality in educational spaces.”
Baldó concluded, “equality is an essential value for the coexistence between women and men that must be internalised by the girls and boys of our municipality.
