[Redcercana] Fwd: Material educativo sobre violencia militar contra las mujeres

[yolajb_educarueca]

Hola eVa, hola chicas todas,

Sí que sería bueno volverlo a difundir en todas nuestras redes 
traducido. Yo de momento lo que estoy haciendo es enviar a Cecile cosas 
que me parecen iteresantes para que sean ellas las que vayan dando forma 
al trabajo. Entre todas encontraremos más cosas y si alguno más se 
anima, pues mucho mejor.

Un abrazo
