Calasparra has joined the national campaign against sexual harassment during the fiestas under the slogan: “No is No.”
There is a “Punto violeta” at the Rice Growers Fountain during the local fiestas for information and advice on how to prevent to and avoid sexual harassment at the local fiestas.
The national campaign against harassment, including “touching” and “bullying,” follows the group rape of a young girl during the fiestas a few years ago at Pamplona.
Women and girls are claiming the right to enjoy the fiestas without being the subjecxted to unwelcome advances by male participants.
