The Valencian Generalitat denounces a sexist poster at the Sagunto festivities
Bajo el título “Un agujero es un agujero”, la imagen, que se pudo ver en los recientes festejos taurinos de la localidad, mostraba cómo un toro sometía a una mujer desnuda
The Valencian Government has denounced the exhibition during the recent Sagunt (Valencia) festivities of a sexist image designed by a bullring group. Under the title ‘Un forat es un forat’ (A hole is a hole), the poster of discord showed a bull sexually subjugating a naked woman. The General Directorate for Equality of the Valencian Government states its “most absolute rejection of any representation that contributes to degrading, objectifying or ridiculing women”.
“In the 21st century, and after the significant progress made in terms of equality between women and men thanks to the efforts of the whole society, we cannot normalise or justify images that reproduce sexist stereotypes or that present women from a perspective of subordination or humiliation. This type of manifestation has no place in a society that aspires to be more equal, respectful and free from discrimination”, they state from the regional administration.
