Commitment to gender equity
Barcelona City Council is launching a gender mainstreaming strategy so that all its actions work in favour of gender equity. A gender perspective is therefore being introduced into the running and organisation of the City Council and into all the policies being implemented from the city and its districts.
Health
We are striving to improve women’s quality of life and health by fighting the gender factors that undermine them. We are putting special emphasis on sexual and reproductive health.
Urban planning
We are working to promote a city, urban-planning and mobility model that meets everyone’s needs and daily-life experiences.
Economy
We are advancing towards an economy that is oriented to everyone, we are incorporating gender perspectives in municipal budgets and taxes and we are fighting against the feminisation of poverty and job insecurity.
Carers
We aim to fight against the disproportionate carer responsibility taken on by women. We are promoting the recognition of the central role of caring, to bring about its socialisation and democratisation.
Sport
We are promoting women’s participation and visibility in sport.
Culture
We are taking on gender inequalities in the cultural arena, promoting women’s creations and acknowledging their work and contributions throughout history.
Participation
We are discovering and acknowledging women’s political, social and technological participation in Barcelona and we are promoting this participation by seeing to its diversity.
Technology
We want to consolidate Barcelona as a fairer and more equitable city in terms of the creation and production of technology, incorporating the gender perspective.
