We are FCC - Nº12

FCC supports the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, celebrated every year on No- vember 25. The Group is calling on the company to remember its principles and report on its commitment and vi- sion: zero tolerance of gender-based violence and the promotion of the so- cial and professional integration of wo- men who are victims of this scourge. As part of the fight against gender vio- lence, FCC held a commemorative event at its corporate headquarters in Las Tablas, which was opened by Ana Benita, the FCC Group’s human resources manager. Afterwards, visual artist and activist Yolanda Domínguez, an expert in communication and gen- der, shared with the audience her ex- hibition entitled “The role of image in social inequalities”, analysing the im- portance of images in the construction of our identity, what their social impli- cations are and how we can use them in a committed and conscious way. This year FCC Construcción has pre- sented its “Don’t normalise it and say NO” campaign through an aware- ness-raising video performed by peo- ple in the company, in solidarity and support of this day, in this case vindi- cating the content of well-known song lyrics, which also need to be rethought in terms of their social involvement and the role given to women and men in their messages. For the second year in a row, FCC wanted to reward and recognize the work done by organizations and as- sociations that are concerned with and involved in trying to put an end to this social scourge, and on this oc- casion the award went to the Spanish Red Cross. David García Núñez, FCC Construcción’s head of communica- tions, collected the award from Javier Senent, president of the Spanish Red Cross, who expressed his gratitude for this distinction in recognition of his work and support for women victims FCC observes the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women at its corporate headquarters in Las Tablas, Madrid Visual artist and activist Yolanda Domínguez, an expert in communication and gender, shared with the audience her exhibition. of gender violence and in the fight against abuse.
