The City Council’s Social Justice, Feminism and LGTBI area has drawn up a program with around thirty proposals to celebrate International Women’s Day, which is celebrated tomorrow, March 8. The document includes a compilation of 34 activities, including talks, workshops, conferences and exhibitions.

This year the focus is on violence against women’s sexual and reproductive health, specifically on issues such as obstetric violence, endometriosis or menstruation, all with the aim of emphasizing these issues -which are already in the public agenda – and around which talks or round tables have been organized to make them more visible.

According to the councilor of the area, Sonia Vivas Riera, “Palma City Council, like every year, continues to implement feminist policies that put women at the center and continues to combat sexist violence.” The council, points out Vivas Riera, “is committed to continuing to expand rights for all.”

The activities started on March 2 with the inauguration of the exhibition “Body maps of a pandemic: visual and oral narratives of undocumented migrant women” that can be visited until March 12 at the Flassaders social center.

The meetings, aimed at different audiences, will last until April 5. In the bulk of the program proposals we find four exhibitions, six thematic workshops, two round tables, different talks and conferences and other interactive formats such as information capsules.

It also has the collaboration of the Municipal Sports Institute, which incorporates the Palma Dona Children’s Race, the Palma Dona Race, the Palma Dona Canoeing Trophy and the Balearic Women’s Weightlifting Championship.
