Although the Department of Equality carries out intensive training and awareness-raising work throughout the year, it is at the beginning of March, with the celebration of International Women's Day, that it intensifies its efforts with a specific programme.
This year, under the slogan "We want to work in equality", a programme has been drawn up which includes a rally on Sunday 8 March at 12 noon in Plaza Colón, organised by the Calpe Association of Women for Equality.
On Tuesday 10th March the Saló Blau of the Casa de Cultura will host the screening of the documentary "En la brecha" about gender inequality at work. Seven women who practice traditionally masculinized professions share their experiences in this documentary that aims to open a debate afterwards.
And on Friday 13th March the workshop "Pills for entrepreneurship from a gender perspective" will be held at the Casa de Cultura. This is a free three-hour workshop aimed at women entrepreneurs or those who already have a business and wish to expand their knowledge about entrepreneurship, empowerment and training.
