Empowering local women
FUENGIROLA Council has designed a full programme of activities to commemorate International Women’s Day, the global event which is celebrated annually on Wednesday, March 8. This year’s exciting programme has been designed in collaboration with various associations, companies, and women’s groups.
The monthlong programme includes a variety of activities, such as lectures aimed at secondary school students to build a more equal society and promote healthy relationships. Other lectures including one about chronic diseases affecting women and sexuality and healthy relationships for adults will also be given during the month.
The programme also included a guided dramatised tour of the historic centre of Malaga which took place on Tuesday, March 7. The tour took guests on a journey through women’s lives in Malaga during the 19th and 20th centuries. The tour also featured performances to learn more about great female characters in the history of the city like Trinidad Grund, Amalia Heredia, Victoria Kent, and Sabina Muchard.
On International Women’s Day itself, the council held a presentation ceremony to highlight the crucial role of women in society and pledge to continue empowering local women.

Lynn McCabe said “It is very empowering working in an office with women of all ages and experience. Every day is a learning day and the importance and value of women is very much felt here, especially with one of our CEOs and founders Michel Euesden being a woman.”
“It is fantastic to be part of such a progressive company that does so much for women throughout the year not only today (International Women’s Day),” said Alison Steele, Office Manager.
