The first day of the conference on "Women and Politics" was opened by Research Director Silvia García Ramos, who explained that "it's not enough to occupy spaces; it's essential to transform structures so that women's presence in politics brings about real change in decision-making on public agendas."
The first presentation was led by Barbara Risman, a professor in the Department of Sociology at Illinois, who focused her talk on gender equality and non-binary categories. She was accompanied by Capitolina Díaz, a professor of sociology. Risman explained that "non-binary people face many obstacles in society."
Rosario H. Sánchez, Director of Publications and Professor, presented the book "Dilemmas of Masculinity" by Mirra Komarovsky. The director was accompanied by Professor Constanza Tobío, Professor Mercedes Alcañiz, and CSIC scientist Ana María Gonzalo.
