Dia internacional de la violencia de género

Los niños y niñas de 6º de Primaria junto a sus profesoras hoy, 25 de noviembre, han asistido al acto de la lucha contra la violencia de género.
Hemos leído varios poemas.
Dos  alumnas han leído un manifiesto escrito por ellas mismas. 

Lobo feroz

¡Pisotearon sus derechos!
¿Dónde están aquellos besos,
las caricias, los proyectos?
Se alejaron con el tiempo.

Se disfraza de ovejita
pareciendo encantador.
En paredes de su alcoba
¡es un cruel lobo feroz!

Sufre dolor en silencio,
sus palabras son hirientes,
como dardos que se lanzan
y lastiman a su mente.

Las cuchillas de su boca
van cortando su camino,
y los gritos que no callan
la someten a peligros.

Ya su cuerpo no aguanta
tanta burla y desprecios.
¿Escapará del fracaso?
¿Terminarán sus asedios?

Manifiesto contra la violencia de género

MANIFIESTO CONTRA LA VIOLENCIA DE GÉNERO

¡Hola! Me llamo Adriana y soy una de las muchas chicas que hoy estamos aquí. Venimos del colegio Escuelas Bosque para aportar nuestro granito de arena contra la violencia de género.

 PORQUE SI TE PEGA, NO TE QUIERE

Y por eso, aún tenemos que continuar con esta lucha para ayudar a esas mujeres que todavía no han conseguido lo que nosotras tenemos. Detenidas en el tiempo, paralizadas, sin poder decir lo que ellas piensan, por el miedo de ser maltratadas.

En un mundo gobernado, en ocasiones, por el machismo, las chicas no podríamos estar hoy aquí, manifestándonos por nuestros derechos. Tranquilos, ni mucho menos me refiero a que vosotros lo hagáis, pero sí hay algunos que lo hacen, y cada vez que lo consiguen, dan un paso atrás en la civilización. Porque han sido muchos los siglos en los que las mujeres han estado en casa, sin estudiar, sin trabajar,….

Gracias a las grandes personas que han hecho evolucionar el mundo para que nosotros hoy podamos estar aquí manifestando nuestras opiniones.

Las generaciones futuras somos la gasolina que conseguirá arrancar el coche y cruzar la frontera de la igualdad.
