AESLEME, has been developing its work for 30 years, reaching with its awareness campaigns our about 5 and a half million people. For the Association, “information, education and awareness is the basis for “safe, sustainable and accessible”.

Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, AESLEME has been able to continue with its prevention and awareness programs, with the number of direct beneficiaries being 96,817 people (mainly children and young people).  In line with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the II Decade of road safety action that the United Nations has set from 2021-2030 to reduce by half the number of people killed and seriously injured in road accidents, for AESLEME, “the objective ZERO VICTIMS must be our goal as a society and our contribution to achieving this objective is based on the development of educational, preventive and awareness campaigns, through education in values, to achieve an attitudinal change, since we have no doubt that road traffic education and information continues, from childhood, and throughout life, it is essential to combat accidents.”
