Marching against<br />
gender violence<br />
Alfas,Albir,Altea<br />
Learning the drill for the beach<br />
SEVERAL local female<br />
support groups have<br />
collaborated to organise<br />
a night against gender<br />
violence in l’Alfas del Pi on<br />
20 September.<br />
This will include a march<br />
through the streets from<br />
8.30pm, starting out at the<br />
Casa de la Cultura.<br />
by Simon Russell<br />
The evening is known as<br />
the “Noche de Violeta” and<br />
demonstrators will wear violet<br />
coloured lights on the evening,<br />
a symbol of the Spanish<br />
struggle against gender violence.<br />
The town’s Department<br />
of Equality is backing the<br />
demonstration and councillor<br />
Raquel Guerrero also attended<br />
the meeting. She also noted<br />
that 13 women and children<br />
died in gender related killings<br />
this July alone across Spain.<br />
Similar demonstrations<br />
are taking place up and down<br />
the country.<br />
LIFEGUARDS and medical staff were<br />
involved in a mocked up emergency<br />
on Raco de l’Albir beach last weekend,<br />
aimed at testing the effectiveness of<br />
their surveillance and rescue work.<br />
To start the drill guards had to spot a<br />
“bather” in trouble out at sea and co-ordinate<br />
a rescue. The medical staff then took<br />
over, performing CPR on the victim (in reality<br />
a mannequin designed for this purpose).<br />

Cortes monitored the display and was happy<br />
that all emergency protocols are in place.<br />
This exercise is carried out every year at<br />
this stage of the summer and also serves as<br />
a form of refresher to pre-summer training.<br />
Albir beach has three lifeguard posts, a<br />
first aid station (including defibrillator) and<br />
rescue boat making it one of the safest places<br />
for bathers on the coast.<br />
