Barcelona is preparing for a new and forceful day of protest.This November 25, International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, the city will once again dress in purple with a large demonstration that will take the center, organized by the Associació Ca la Dona.
The mobilization, under the slogan Teixim resistències. Diverses, vives i rebels contra les violències masclistes, racistes i colonials, calls for justice in the face of the chilling figures of male violence, which accumulate 38 women murdered this year in Spain and a worrying increase in sexual assaults and assistance for gender violence in Barcelona, according to data from the Hospital Clínic and the ICAB.
Timetable and route of the march
The central event will begin at 18:30 hours in Plaza Universitat, although the head of the march will begin to form twenty minutes earlier in Gran Via, corner Aribau, with batucada. The route will advance in the opposite direction along the Universitat ring road and will pass through Plaça Catalunya, Ronda Sant Pere, Plaça Urquinaona and Via Laietana, ending at Plaça Antoni Maura and Avinguda Francesc Cambó at around 9:30 p.m., where the manifesto will be read.
In addition to this march, on Monday 24 was held a night demonstration called by the Comitè 8M-25N from the Carmel road. The focus of the week is also on the campaign Prou a les violències masclistes digitals, with about thirty events in neighborhoods such as L’Eixample, Ciutat Vella and Sant Martí.
Affectations to traffic and transport
Between 18:00 and 21:30 hours important restrictions are expected in the center. TMB has warned of detours on bus lines such as D50, H16, V15, V15, V17, 19, 22, 24, 24, 39, 47, 52, 54, 55, 59, 63 and 120.
