Yolanda Martín

Yolanda Martín is a prominent advocate for women's rights in Spain, serving as a spokesperson for the Coordinadora de Mujeres de Valladolid. She has been vocal about the importance of recognizing and understanding the international signal of distress created for victims of domestic violence. This gesture, which involves folding the thumb over the palm and making a fist, was developed in Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide a discreet means for victims to signal for help. Martín emphasizes the necessity for both women and the general public to be aware of this sign, aiming to increase awareness and response to situations of gender-based violence.
