Description

The image on the header of the demonstration for the right to abortion, held in Barcelona in 1983, is a graphic document of great symbolic force. In a context of feminist struggle and intense social debate, this mobilization demanded the right of women to decide about their bodies and not to be subjected to the values ​​of a patriarchal society. The document reflects the connection of Catalan demands with European feminist movements and with the values ​​of freedom, equality and personal autonomy. This demonstration is an example of how Catalan society has been a pioneer in the defense of sexual and reproductive rights, contributing to a fairer and more equal Europe.
