According to the health councillor, “we are working to make the public aware of the work both the Cabildo, ourselves and the organisations are doing in this area, such as services like ‘infosex’, co-educational interventions in schools, collaborations with other associations and co-ordinating with other LGBTI groups in the borough”: 

 

Afonso Ruiz added, “this kind of meeting is important to make the most out of the synergies between the different administrations and associations.  Experiences has shown us that any initiative is enriched and reaches more people that we might have otherwise been able to”.
