The Solsona City Council and various organizations in the Solsonès region have organized a dozen activities until April 12th to commemorate International Women's Day and reclaim their historical role.

This year's campaign focuses on fighting trends that encourage women's return to the domestic sphere. Under the slogan Women of high value. We won't let the past advance, institutions warn about social media discourses like tradwives.

"These are well-wrapped discourses. They appeal to tradition, aesthetics, and normality, but what they sell is obedience. What they seek is regression."

María Guijarro · Secretary of State for Equality
Locally, the Solsonès program stands out for its focus on ancestral wisdom. Cultural venues like Espai Cavallers will host exhibitions to showcase the talent of female artists in the territory.
