ADRA Spain is changing lives and rebuilding communities after a devastating earthquake in Morocco. Find out more about this amazing initiative!

In a heartwarming effort to aid the victims of the recent devastating earthquake in Morocco, ADRA Spain has stepped in to provide a new beginning for those affected. The 6.8 magnitude earthquake, considered the strongest to strike the region in over 60 years, left villages in turmoil. Thanks to the initiative by ADRA Spain, hope is being restored, and communities are slowly recovering from the aftermath.

Amidst the challenges faced by earthquake victims, a powerful new film sheds light on the gender politics and violence prevalent in Spain. Despite banners proclaiming solidarity and support, incidents of rape still occur, underscoring the ongoing issues that women face. This serves as a poignant reminder of the work that still needs to be done to combat gender-based violence and promote equality in society.

ADRA Spain's impactful work in Morocco and the portrayal of gender issues in the film highlight critical societal issues. The initiative showcases the importance of humanitarian aid in rebuilding communities and addressing deep-rooted social problems. It serves as a beacon of hope for those in need, emphasizing the significance of unity and support during challenging times.

Interestingly, the earthquake in Morocco not only brought physical destruction but also shed light on the resilience and determination of communities in the face of adversity. The film documenting women's experiences serves as a powerful tool to raise awareness about gender violence and advocate for change in Spain and beyond.
