Within the framework of Book Day celebrations on April 23, the Equality Service of the Provincial Council of Cádiz has launched the fourth edition of its 'Violet Letters' initiative. This program aims to encourage reading with a focus on feminist values, distributing copies to libraries in towns with fewer than 20,000 inhabitants and Local Autonomous Entities (ELA).

Since its inception, the program has delivered over 1,100 books. On this occasion, 232 copies were distributed, accompanied by bookmarks and a commemorative plaque. Most of the titles are children's stories, although works aimed at teenagers and young adults are also included.

The selection comprises 47 titles by some forty authors, addressing topics such as the recovery of stories of influential women (examples like Clara Campoamor: the first vote for women or Philosophers no one told me about), breaking gender stereotypes (such as Not all girls like pink or Daniela Pirate), reproductive and sexual health (Periods are cool), self-awareness and violence prevention (If it's love, it doesn't hurt), and other concepts related to feminism (Feminist boys and girls).

Among the stories for early childhood are titles like Teresa, the princess, and renowned works such as Arthur and Clementina or Pink Candy. Books for the prevention of child abuse, such as Marta doesn't kiss and My body is mine, have also been included.

This strategy by the Provincial Equality Service seeks to work with new generations to dismantle patriarchal and unjust structures, using reading and leisure as tools for awareness. The ultimate goal is to build more egalitarian relationships in society, benefiting both women and men.
