How important is gender violence in our society? How does it affect people?
Gender violence is a big problem in our society. It is a type of physical or psychological violence exerted against any person or group of people on the basis of their sex or gender.
Gender violence presents different manifestations, such as acts that cause suffering or harm, threats or other deprivation of liberties.
These acts are manifested in all areas of social and political life, among which are the family itself, the State, education, the media, religions, the world of work, sexuality, social organizations, coexistence in public spaces, culture, etc.
The majority of the victims are women and girls. The notion of gender violence includes acts such as assaults or sexual violations, forced prostitution, employment discrimination…
It doesn’t have to be this way. All of us can end with the gender violence.
1. Ratify international and regional treaties… 2. Follow the laws. 3.Create national and local action plans …4. Make justiceaccessible to women and girls …
5.Guarantee universal access to essential services … and many other things.
The conclusion is that together we are stronger.
Laura and Aroa.

Aproximadamente 780 millones de personas en todo el mundo no tienen acceso a agua potable limpia. Según la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), 3,4 millones de personas mueren de enfermedades relacionadas con el agua cada año.
Un innovador filtro de agua creado por un estudiante de la Escuela Politécnica Federal de Zúrich (Suiza) hace posible purificarla de forma rápida, simple y económica. Se enrosca en la botella y elimina bacterias y contaminantes. Los desarrolladores esperan que el dispositivo pueda utilizarse pronto en la ayuda al desarrollo en este campo.

Script
Some years ago, women weren’t allowed to do things that men could. They couldn’t vote, work out of their house or do sport.
Clara Campoamor was born in Madrid the 12th of February in 1888. She was an advocate of women‘s rights.
she created Women‘s Republican Union. She was a great advocate of equal rights for women, in their defense she published numerous articles. Already during his years of work and study, Clara was forming her feminist and republican ideals and began to collaborate in associations in defense of the emancipation of women and their ideals.
Finally in In 1931 the electoral law was amended and allowed women over 23 years to be elected in parliament. Clara Campoamor, together with Victoria Kent and Margarita Nelken were the only three women who got their seats at the parliament.
Now women in countries like Spain can do many things they were not allowed to, but we must not forget that there is still a long ay to go.
María, Valle, Marcos and Miguel have made this fantastic video on the contribution of feminist groups to achieve gender equality.
Javier´s holidays
In Asturias there are few sunny days , this means that it is rarely warm enough to go to the beach with friends.
So every sunny day I went to the beach of San Juan with my mother and there I was with a new friend that I made this summer, Hugo. We swam many times and the water was great, other days a bit cold. We also dug huge holes, we had a great time! When the weather was bad we played at home.
Other days I was with my friends Diego and Hugo in Corias. We rode our bikes, went to the river Narcea to swim or play. The days flew by.
Other days I went out with my parents and sister, but the best day was when I celebrated my birthday with a friend and my family going paintball. What a surprise!
And out of a sudden the summer was over and I was going to start school again.
I love summer!
Alexandra´s holidays
The first thing I did was to spend two weeks at home resting, hanging out with my friends and going to the beach.
Then on July 8 I went camping to Noja in Santander with my family and some friends; there we stayed for four days. The fourth day in the afternoon when we were coming back to Asturias we stopped at a Kart track where I climbed in a two-seater car with my father although I drove most of the trip.
When we arrived in Asturias I spent the rest of July at home going to Asturian beaches I didn`t know, hiking and hanging outwith my friends.
Sara´s holidays
This summer, my holiday was in San Juan de la Arena and Quiros, two places in Asturias.
In San Juan de la Arena, every day I got up at half past eleven. I went to the beach if the day was sunny. My fauvorite beach is Las Llanas. It is in Muros de Nalon, near my house. In the afternoon, I went with my family to have dinner in a good restaurant at the beach.
I went to Quiros some days. My grandmother lives there. I like going to the swimming pool with my cousin Marta, and my sister Alba.
Everyday I ate ice creams. I love them.In the evening, I watched series or films. My favourite series are The Middle and Modern Family.
The next holidays, I hope to go to The Canary Islands with my family.
Pablo´s holidays

Álvaro´s holidays
In my holidays I went to my family to Alicante, which lies on the south-east coast of Spain.
In this place we went to visit some museums, water parks, beaches and other places
This place is very famous because of its fantastic sandy beaches , which are good for swimming with fish and other animals .
The water is warm every day and you can even swim at night.
It´s a good place to go on holidays; I recommend it for your holidays!
RAÚL
This year we took a long trip, we went to Córdoba.
The first step was Cáceres (Extremadura). In this city we walked on its historic center. I like it very much.
After that we went to Córdoba, where we visited «La Mezquita – Catedral», Medina – Azahara, Arqueologic Museum, The tower of Calahorra, and we walked in the streets, in the Roman Bridge, and to the river shore of Guadalquivir.
I ate a Tortilla at «Casa Santos» of 15 cm thick. It was great!
When we came back home we stopped in Mérida, to visit the monuments as the Roman Theatre, Roman Amphitheater, Roman circus, the Temple of Diana or the Church of Santa Eulalia de Mérida.
The trip was amazing!
RUBÉN
This summer I went to Madrid, where I visited many things. For example the main Square, the Madrid center, Aqualandia Water Park… The best was Aqualandia with its water slides and attractions; I spent a fantastic day.
I also visited Cuenca and its hanging houses. They were amazing and they are very old and people don’t live there. On the way back we also visited Segovia. This summer I also went to Léon with my cousins to the water park.
I spent the rest of the summer with my friends. It was wonderful.
SERGIO
On my vacation, I went with my parents, my cousins and my aunt and uncle to the Warner Park of Madrid, we rode in all the attractions we could.
After going to Park Warner De Madrid we went to Toledo, a historical place, there we went to many museums and we learnt a lot of about the history of this city. Also as we went to the village of our grandmother and we stopped to visit Avila.
We had great fun.
MARCOS
Hello, my name is Marcos.
This summer I had a great time despite the fact that the weather was not the best nor much less but that did not stop the adventures that I lived with my friends and relatives, I went to the beach several times although I bathed more in the pool with my friends, especially I had a great time in August and some days in September.
I celebrate my birthday that month, watching the fireworks of Christ festival and going Padel-Surfing with many of my friends.
In August I went with eleven of my friends to a mini house of a friend and we had a great time going around the village till one o’clock in the morning and gathering some horses. I also went to Portugal and Astorga to see my grandparents and my aunt and uncle and I also went Padel-Surfing again in a lake that was previously a dam that exploded in Zamora.
If the weather had been a bit better, it would have been the best summer of my life.
MATEO
In the summer I went to Malpica, Galicia. Malpica is a little town near the sea.
During my holidays I also travelled to Cabranes, which is a small town near the forest in Villaviciosa. It is an old town.
I enjoyed my holidays a lot.
MARÍA
My name is María
In my summer holidays I went to many places :
I went to Galicia to see my cousins and I also I went to Zamora.
In July, it was my grandfather´s birthday, and as every year, my cousins came from Madrid to celebrate it, and we also visited some nice places, like for example, the Beach of the Cathedrals or the beach of Aguilar.
It was brilliant!
And then, in the middle of the summer, a friend of mine came from Madrid to spend a few days, and we went to many places, like for example the beach of Xagó, or also the one in Salinas.
It was a wonderful summer!
