<p>”Women who create culture.” With this motto, Jerez aims to celebrate March 8th, International Women’s Day, this year. It does so through civic engagement and a program of activities that recognizes the role, talent, and commitment of women in cultural creation processes. This program, supported by the City Council, has also benefited from the support and participation of artists, artists, and social and cultural organizations.</p>
<p>Thus, the city has decided to align the commemoration of March 8th in 2025 with the purpose and values of equality, inclusion, diversity, and cooperation that are at the heart of its #Jerez3031 European Capital of Culture bid.</p>
<p>The series includes the presentation of the Equality Plan for Citizenship, a document that analyzes the gender impact of public policies by introducing a gender perspective and promoting social and cultural changes in organizations and among citizens. In addition, along with exhibitions, discussions, and concerts, the program once again includes an Equality Gala at the city’s main performing and cultural venue, the Villamarta Theater.</p>
<p>The presentation of the program of activities included the participation of the Education Delegates, José Ángel Aparicio, and the Culture Delegates, Francisco Zurita; the Citizen Vice President of the Local Women’s Council, Coral García Gago; the artist Macarena de Jerez; and the President of the Flamencology Chair, Fran Pereira, along with María José Ojeda and Magdalena Delgado, from the “Pinceles” Artists Association.</p>
