In honor of International Women’s Day, an event design to celebrate March 8th was organized by ESPINHO +IGUALDADE.
This event took place between 9:30 am and 6:00 pm at the José Marmelo e Silva Municipal Library, and included sessions led by several prominent guests on a variety of crucial subjects, including gender violence and femicide, gender identity and sexual orientation, equality and non-discrimination, to name a few.
Carla Cerqueira, PI of the research project FEMglocal - Glocal Feminist Movements: Interactions and Contradictions (financed by the Foundation for Science and Technology, FCT, through national funds - PTDC/COM-CSS/4049/2021) was among the list of distinguished guests and, on March 8, at 11:30 am, led a session on “New challenges in society: Balancing professional, family and personal life”, which inspired thought-provoking reflection on these matters.
