The Sociedad Democracia in Arrecife hosted the inauguration of the Feminist School by the PSOE of Lanzarote. This new initiative, as explained by María Dolores Corujo, general secretary of the PSOE of Lanzarote, aims to become a hub for critical thinking and action to promote genuine equality, actively building rights through politics and collective effort.
The program included a round table discussion titled Advancing Equality through Public and Social Action, which brought together significant figures from institutional and legal feminism. Among the participants were María Guijarro, Secretary of State for Equality; Lidia Guinart, deputy and president of the Monitoring Commission of the State Pact against Gender Violence; Gloria Poyatos, magistrate of the Social Chamber of the High Court of Justice of the Canary Islands; and deputies Andrea Fernández and Milena Herrera. The discussion was moderated by María Dolores Corujo.
