Tuesday, March 8 is International Women’s Day, a date to demand equality.
Tuesday, March 8 is the International Women’s Day, a date to claim equality in all areas and, especially, in educational spaces such as schools, youth centers, entities… in which at Fundesplai we work every day.
From Fundesplai and the entities that are part of it, equality between women and men is a transversal line of work: from the application of Equality Plans internal of our organization, going through the important work we develop in the field of regulatory advice and development of equality plans for entities from the Department of Third Sector Support or inclusion projects for young women to the promotion of educational proposals such as Encourage yourself for gender equality and zero violence that reach thousands of children and young people.
Today, in many schools, youth centers and other educational spaces where we are present, different activities related to International Women’s Day are being developed. At our headquarters, in El Prat de Llobregat, we have held an event where we have been able to know first-hand the testimony of 7 women who have explained the difficulties they encounter because they are women in the workplace, education, health, etc. and have made a call for equality.
At the end of the event, Esther Obdulia, from the Fundesplai Equality Commission, read a manifesto calling for an egalitarian society and calling against all wars. You can read the manifesto here.
