The City Council of Estepona informs that this week will begin the third edition of the activity ‘Spring of stories for equality’, a cycle of storytelling through which aims to prevent gender violence and promote education in values with special attention to equality, with the elimination of sexist stereotypes that encorsetan both women and men.
