The initiative “Jangueo Seguro,” led by San Juan’s Municipal Office for the Comprehensive Development of Women (ODIM by its acronym in Spanish), aims to educate and raise awareness about women’s right to enjoy public spaces without harassment or violence, especially during mass events such as the San Sebastián Street Festival, which runs through Sunday.


“I appreciate the extraordinary efforts of the ODIM to foster respect and promote women’s rights in all settings,” San Juan Mayor Miguel Romero Lugo said when announcing the initiative earlier this week. “During the Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastián, our team will be more committed than ever to guaranteeing a safe space for all people. This year we wanted to emphasize that women have the right to enjoy themselves freely and peacefully, without being harassed or stalked. Our team will be alert and committed to ensuring that these rights are upheld.”


As part of the campaign, a municipal contingent will tour key points of Old San Juan with clear and direct messages on banners, such as: “It is NOT a complete sentence” and “Gaming without harassment.” In addition to the distribution of campaign-themed materials, there will be an information table in the Plaza de la Barandilla that will offer more details about the services available.


“Our main objective is for every woman to feel safe and respected while enjoying this cultural event that is so important for San Juan,” ODIM Director Valerie Rivera said. “‘Jangueo Seguro’ reaffirms our commitment to the empowerment of women and the creation of spaces free of violence. Through education and access to resources, we seek to strengthen their safety and their right to full enjoyment.”
