The Xunta de Galicia on 11 October 2026 in Mos the first edition of the Carreira Solidaria 4,4K ActivAemos against gender-based violence. The solidarity run, organised by the Asociación de Empresarios de Mos (AEMOS), took place through the Parque Empresarial de Mos and was aimed at businesses, employees and local residents. Its aim was to raise the profile of prevention and support for those affected, and to connect local organisations.
According to the organisers, the launch of the ActivAemos initiative was marked by cooperation between businesses, Municipality of Mos and the regional administration. The Xunta de Galicia’s involvement was seen as a signal that business networks should play a greater part in efforts to combat gender-based violence. The organisers emphasised the dual approach: raising awareness in public spaces and providing practical assistance through projects promoting the social and professional integration of women who have experienced violence.
The solidarity run was designed as an event open to all. Businesses from the Parque Empresarial de Mos supported it, while local associations and volunteers helped with organisation and delivery. AEMOS said it would assess the event after its launch and make its cooperation with the Municipality of Mos and the Xunta de Galicia ongoing. Initial figures for attendance and income from entry fees were not available.
The event in Mos is part of a series of regional initiatives in Galicia that combine prevention, victim protection and career prospects. In this context, the Xunta de Galicia points to region-wide programmes, while local authorities and private organisations run events on the ground. Experts see such alliances as complementing statutory safeguards. They say robust structures for advice, job placement and long-term stability are essential.
The Municipality of Mos and AEMOS stressed that the Carreira Solidaria 4,4K ActivAemos is intended to become an annual fixture, engaging businesses, workforces and local residents on an ongoing basis. According to the organisers, future editions are planned to involve partnerships with more businesses in the business park. The Xunta de Galicia said it would continue working with local organisations in Galicia and support successful initiatives.
The launch in Mos underlines the approach of treating the prevention of violence against women not solely as a government responsibility, but as a joint project involving public authorities, businesses and civil society.
