Ineco held a commemorative event in Seville, surrounded by the team in Andalusia, on the occasion of November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women
Ineco marked the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (25N) with a commemorative event in Seville, joined by its Andalusian team, reaffirming its commitment to equality and the eradication of all forms of gender-based violence.
The day began with a micro-theatre performance depicting every day, often invisible situations of gender violence, aiming to raise awareness about realities that are frequently normalized or overlooked.
Ineco’s President, Sergio Vázquez Torrón, announced the renewal of the Horizonte Program for another year—a cornerstone of the company’s social commitment to ending violence against women. Looking ahead to 2026, the program will incorporate Asociación Alma, known for developing technological solutions to support survivors. Alma joins existing partners driving the “Violence Zero” initiative: Fundación Mujeres, Asociación Victoria, MUM (Women United Against Abuse), ESLABÓN, and Fundación Ana Bella.
During his address, the president emphasized that “there is no greater violence than gender-based violence. Today we celebrate a day of advocacy and struggle." In addition, it has been stated that "the most important struggle of this century is the fight for women's rights and for women to live free from gender-based violence”. Over its five-year history, Ineco’s Horizonte Program has created new employment opportunities for women survivors of gender violence. To date, 34 women have joined Ineco’s workforce, 64 have received specialised training through the “Back to Work” pathway, and 26 scholarships have been awarded to their children, fostering comprehensive development.
A particularly moving moment came with the testimony of actress, director, and producer Cecilia Gessa, who shared her experience as a survivor of gender violence—a courageous account that resonated deeply with attendees and put a human face to a still pervasive reality.
David Oliver, Ineco’s Regional Delegate in Andalusia, hosted the event, which concluded with the artistic performance “Tejiendo alas” (“Weaving Wings”), an inclusive flamenco piece where women took center stage as a symbol of empowerment, autonomy, and liberation. The performance underscored the transformative power of art as a tool for awareness and social change.
