Next March 8th, the Junta de Freguesia of Matosinhos and Leça da Palmeira will once again mark International Women's Day. For this, the municipality has prepared a walk that will bring together several women in a tour in Leça da Palmeira. This initiative is scheduled for 10 a.m., and will be organized by the Running and Walking Center "Titans of Running" and the Attitude Dance School.

During the afternoon, the Junta de Freguesia is associated with the Training Center "Saber é Fácil" to promote the "Women vs Violence" Tertúlia. This session will be attended by Paulo Carvalho, President of the Junta, the Matosinhos Delegation of the Portuguese Red Cross and the Association of Ukrainians in Portugal of the Metropolitan area of Porto.

"This will be a day to talk about women and especially to mark and value the long way we have come in the conquest of their rights and opportunities. This year we will address the war in Ukraine and above all, the impact of this conflict on women in this country and that has deserved international solidarity. For this, we count on the participation of the Association of Ukrainians in Portugal and hope that this session can give voice to all Ukrainian women living in Matosinhos and Leça da Palmeira, "said Paulo Carvalho.
