The president of the institution also highlighted that "four women have received the National Sociology Award in the last six years," something that had not happened before.
Carmen Calvo asserted that "feminism is currently within the structures, contributing as much as it can," and recalled the debate surrounding the creation of the Ministry of Equality. The president also asserted that much remains to be done in the area of equality.
She also highlighted "fascism's reaction to denying gender violence" as another of the current problems.
