Women's Day, the installation "Red Shoes" is placed in "Mother Teresa" Square

The "Red Shoes" installation was placed yesterday in "Mother Teresa" square in Tirana on International Women's Day. The installation, supported by the EU, shows the red shoes, where at the center of the symbolism are the tragic losses and sufferings of women. The Head of EU Cooperation in Albania, Hubert Perr spoke about the increase in awareness, where women can live without the fear of violence. "Violence against women and girls should have no place in our societies. All together, we must continue to raise awareness and work towards a world where every woman can live without the fear of violence", said the Head of EU Cooperation in Albania, Hubert Perr, in his speech. The mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, and his wife, Ajola Xoxa, were also present at this activity. The idea of ??red shoes dates back years, when the Mexican artist Elina Chauvet started the installation "Los Zapatos Rojos" in honor of her sister, who lost her life as a result of domestic violence. The installation that was placed in the square the day before as part of Women's Day was a continuation of the activities that took place during these days at the "FemFest" festival in Tirana. Part of the festival, which held its second edition this year, were artists, activists, writers, etc. With Iliriana Basha as executive director this year, "FemFest" conveyed important messages for our society. Earlier, the director Iliriana Basha showed that through art the messages come more strongly to the public, where the problems were addressed today. International Women's Day is a day that serves not only to unite women regardless of religion, race, culture, language and origin,
