🔹 A ceremony of remembrance and collective commitment

The event featured the reading of the official 25N manifesto and a tribute to the women murdered in the past year.
Prohens highlighted that “when citizens speak up, the protection network works”, stressing the importance of ensuring that no aggression goes unheard.
