The initiative, organized by the Puerto Real City Council, is being delivered at IES Manuel de Falla and five other educational centers until May. The two-hour workshop is aimed at Secondary Education students and seeks to help participants identify and recognize the various manifestations of sexist violence in the digital environment.

In addition to identifying violence, the activity aims to raise awareness about the importance of adopting an active social stance against injustice and violence. It promotes a critical perspective on leadership models based on violence and sexism, analyzing how gender roles and stereotypes, though socially normalized, can be detrimental to holistic development.

The training is led by a pedagogue and co-educator with over twenty years of experience in preventing sexist violence. Her methodology focuses on activism, emotion, and humor, creating empathetic spaces that facilitate active and autonomous learning through original dynamics and materials. The expert emphasizes the need to break myths and empower students to be protagonists in their own learning process, analyzing social media use and questioning popularity or success.

The pedagogue warns about the risks of combining social media and sexist violence, mentioning easy access to pornographic content, the need for adequate sexual education, and the rise of denialist discourses that question sexist violence or claim that accusations are false. She highlights that women are continuously exposed to this type of violence on social media, where anonymity and screen protection facilitate disrespectful behavior.

The workshop, funded by credits from the Ministry of Equality through the Secretary of State for Equality and against Gender Violence, aims to foster critical thinking among youth so they can discern the messages they receive in the digital environment.
