Coinciding with the International Day of Rural Women and the International Year of Family Farming, the municipalities of Sant Julià de Vilatorta and the hamlet of Vilalleons are emphasizing the importance of retaining female talent in the region. This celebration aims to showcase the contribution of women from the Osona region in various key areas.
In a natural environment characterized by a mix of cultivated land and forests, rural women are leading projects that extend beyond traditional agricultural work. Many are currently at the forefront of family farms, environmentally conscious rural accommodation initiatives, and local businesses that help keep urban centers alive.
The Equality Department of the Sant Julià de Vilatorta Town Council is working to ensure this leadership translates into genuine equal opportunities. The goal is to promote women's access to decision-making roles in the economic and associative sectors, thereby preventing depopulation and the loss of local identity through quality services and support for female entrepreneurship.
