More than 100 Clece Employees Participate in the IV ‘Hay Salida’ Race

• Involved from the outset, Clece shares this initiative’s aim of raising public awareness in order to eradicate gender-based violence and achieve a better quality of life for its victims

• As a result of this commitment, 171 victims of gender-based violence now form part of its team across Spain

For the fourth consecutive year, Clece has participated in the ‘Hay Salida’ Race. This sporting event took place yesterday in Madrid, organised by the newspaper 20 Minutos and Mía magazine in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality. The aim of the initiative is to raise public awareness about the need to achieve a society free of gender-based violence and to increase understanding about the reality of life for its victims.

More than 100 workers from the Clece Group participated in the race to launch a single, clear message of support for the victims: “There is a way out of gender-based violence, you are not alone”. The fourth edition of this race once again brought together thousands of people in the area surrounding Madrid’s Retiro Park to complete the 4.6 kilometre course.

As in previous editions of the race, Clece’s Nursery Schools division organized workshops and free activities in the park for the event’s smallest visitors. They enjoyed games and a fun day out together with Clecito, the cuddly koala mascot for Clece’s nursery schools.

Linked to this initiative from the beginning, Clece shares its objective of raising public awareness of the issue and working to integrate women who are victims of this type of violence into the workplace.

Due to this commitment, the company currently has 171 victims of gender-based violence integrated into its team across the whole of Spain. It is working to promote the well-being and quality of life of those who suffer this type of violence in order to end their social exclusion.

According to data from Spain’s Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality, the number of victims killed as a result of gender-based violence rose to 27 at the end of May.
