In this article I will explain what we did in our weeks of tutoring to celebrate the day against gender violence held on 25 November. 

Firstly, 1^st  of ESO watched the film Buddha Collapsed out of Shame: and  students had a reflection and did activities performed on the film. This is the argument of this interesting film: 

Under the statue of Buddha destroyed by the Taliban, thousands of families still live. Baktay, a six-year old Afghan girl, is goaded into going to school for the child of her neighbours, who reads the scripts in front of his cave. The initial problem is that  Baktay has not got any notebook and pen. For the book should find a living, such as pencil, decides to take the lipstick from her mother, causing some children, pretending to be Taliban, decide to stone her. 

The village children playing war with branches posing as rifles and comets represent fighter jets. In this game, the stones are real. When Baktay trap, there are three other girls locked in a cave. The reasons for retaining range from saying that a girl should not go to school or who have small eyes too pretty. Reflect the violent society in which they live their elders. 

                         

On the other hand, the courses of 2^nd, 3^rd  4^th  of ESO and 1^st and 2^nd PCPI went to the audiovisual room and watched five short films. These films were awarded nationally and were written by teenagers and staged by famous Spanish actors and actresses and also well known directors. All films reflected somehow, the idea of fighting against gender violence. To work more deeply in the short we did pre-viewing activities and then reflected on the activities of each short film:
