Barcelona will be marking the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women again this year.
In 2023, we want to highlight the value of the struggle against this problem from close up, with all of us paying attention to what could be happening with those around us.
The figures are startling but we want to reaffirm the strength of being there for people we know and who might need to explain what's happening to them so they are not just another statistic.
