Baix Llobregat has held its 7th Women's Congress, consolidating a unique regional model with nearly 1,445 participations in pre-congress activities and working commissions, involving 16 experts.

The pre-congress mobilization gathered nearly 1,000 people in activities organized by the 35 sub-branches, featuring 48 speakers. At the congress itself, 445 participants, including politicians, technicians, members of entities, associations, political parties, and unions, will engage in working commissions, guided by 16 experts across the six thematic areas.
This regional initiative, which began in 2002 in Sant Boi de Llobregat, has seen continuity with editions held in Sant Feliu de Llobregat, Viladecans, Gavà, Castelldefels, and Cornellà de Llobregat. Institutional sources highlight the unique nature of this quadrennial experience in Catalonia due to its regional scale and decentralized methodology.
The proposals and priorities emerging from feminist deliberation are translated into stable public policies. An example is the Consell de les Dones del Baix Llobregat (Baix Llobregat Council of Women), established in 2007 following the second congress.
Under the slogan 'Now more than ever,' the 7th Congress will address topics such as male and digital violence, health, training, employment, entrepreneurship, ageism, racism, and poverty, advocating for the defense of women's rights and the construction of shared responses.
