The Vilanova i la Geltrú City Council held its official 8M ceremony this March 10, 2026, featuring the reading of an institutional manifesto for women's rights.

The event in Vilanova i la Geltrú focused on the progress made in equality while highlighting the ongoing challenges. Similar institutional acts took place across the Garraf region, including Sitges and Cubelles.
In Sant Pere de Ribes, the scheduled outdoor activities for March 8 had to be moved indoors due to heavy rain, ensuring the community could still participate in the commemorative events.
