Empowering women

A EUROPEAN project to encourage female empowerment took place in Pedreguer last week.

‘Techgirls’ consisted of a series of events aimed at promoting gender equality and with a single step.” the financial independence of women, reducing the gender pay gap and increasing the decision­making power of women within a digital framework.

Originating from a Chinese proverb meaning that however big the task is, it starts with a small step.

The project, financed completely with EU funds, called on women in towns and cities throughout Europe to discuss gender perspective within the Digital Europe and Green Deal policies.

One of the main events was a visit by a delegation of 26 participants from the Latvian city of Kuldiga, who took part in a videoconference about artificial intelligence and gender perspective led by EU Employment commissioner GeorginaIona Mozer­Schönborn and Madrid University investigator Leticia Bendelac.

The Latvian delegation also visited the headquarters of leading local businesses Rolser and Fresental.
