The city of Sant Joan Despí has been selected as the venue for the 7th Baix Llobregat Women's Congress, which will take place on October 23 and 24, 2026.

The event was officially presented on March 3 at the Consell Comarcal headquarters. Local and regional leaders, including Mayor Belén García and Lluïsa Moret, President of the Barcelona Provincial Council, emphasized the urgency of the meeting.
With the slogan Ara més que mai (Now more than ever), the congress will address critical issues such as women's health, employment, and gender-based violence. It aims to provide a strategic boost to feminist policies in the region.
Preparatory activities will begin this month, including a seminar on ageism featuring feminist gerontologist Anna Freixas Farré at the Centre Dones Despí on March 9.
