The Government’s Deputy Delegate in Pontevedra, Maica Larriba, participated today, together with the Secretary General of the Government Subdelegation, María Isabel Alonso de Linaje, in the placement of a banner on the occasion of International Women’s Day, 8M, which will remain hanging outside the main façade of the Government Subdelegation building in Pontevedra throughout the week.
Maica Larriba recalled that this symbolic act is the first of a program of activities organized by the Government Subdelegation to commemorate this international day and that will take place throughout the week.
The deputy delegate wanted to reiterate the commitment of the Government to "turn feminism into a matter of State" and promote all public policies "that can remove the inequalities that women suffer from the fact of being women in access to their rights, whether in the labor or health fields, in access to housing or in the redistribution of wealth."
In this regard, Maica Larriba expressed "the firm will of the Government to continue carrying out feminist policies that allow all women to find in the common and in the institutions all the efforts to guarantee each and every one of their rights" and highlighted the work done by the Executive of Pedro Sánchez in recent years, "which managed to reduce the salary gap, equalize conciliation permits, recognize more rights to domestic workers and commit more than 20,000 million euros to develop equality policies until 2025, among many other advances".
Within the framework of this week of activities, the Subdelegation will host on Wednesday, March 8 at 11 a.m., the act of reading the institutional declaration of the Government on the occasion of 8M, which will be approved tomorrow by the Council of Ministers. Maica Larriba announced that it will be Irene Fariña, Fisheries Inspector at the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, who will read the manifesto. In this regard, the subdelegate wanted to highlight that “the election of the inspector Fariña aims to make visible the figure of women in a sector traditionally as masculinized as the sea sector and claim the important role of all professionals working in this field.”
Likewise, Maica Larriba announced that next Friday, March 10, the Government Subdelegation will host a training day focused on the actions of the Labor Inspection in favor of labor equality and taught by Mónica González Otero, Labor and Social Security Inspector in Pontevedra.
