Their "measures" were not their physical measures but measures to reduce gender inequality and reduce domestic violence that were presented through video announcements on the big screen in Kino Kultura. Through speakers such as Lence Ristoska (SJO/SPO), Margarita Ivanova (ZONTA), Ana Vasileva (Bori se zzenski), Uranija Pirovska (Macedonian Helsinki Committee for Human Rights of the Republic of Macedonia) and Louisa Vinton (High Representative of UN / UNDP) shared messages for unity, the struggle for gender equality and the eradication of gender-based domestic violence in Macedonia.
