The Sedaví City Council, through its Security and Equality departments, has organized gender violence training for over 200 students at IES Sedaví, responding to a request from the teaching staff.

The sessions, delivered by Sedaví Local Police officers trained in the VioGén system, aimed to familiarize young people with the operation of this protection system and provide them with tools to identify gender violence. The training covered aspects such as controlling behaviors in adolescent relationships, different types of violence —physical, psychological, sexual, or economic—, warning signs in victims, debunking erroneous beliefs, the cycle of violence, and the role of the police in protecting victims.
In total, over 200 students participated in these workshops, held over three days, through technical and regulatory courses adapted to the students' age. The training was supported by a presentation with clear, visual, and easily understandable information, which fostered high engagement and participation from the students.

"It has been a very dynamic course, very suitable for their age and with a lot of participation from the students."

The Councillor for Equality noted that providing gender violence courses for students was a demand from the IES and that they consider it very important for young people to participate and learn about the issue in a normative, objective way, and also through the testimony of the Local Police.
With these types of initiatives, the Sedaví City Council reinforces its commitment to prevention, awareness, and education in equality, especially among the young population, as a key tool to combat gender violence from its earliest manifestations.
