Once again the UAB organises a series of activities (conferences, sports activities, debates) in commemoration of International Women's Day, celebrated on 8 March, with the aim of strengthening the University's commitment to gender equality. The main institutional event, organised by the Equality and Diversity Service, will be held on 9 March at 12 noon at the conference hall of the Rectorat building. The event will also be streamed live on the UAB's YouTube channel.

The institutional day (attendance requires prior registration via the designated form) will begin with a speech by UAB Rector Javier Lafuente Sancho, and will continue with a presentation by Secretary General Esther Zapater of the UAB's main lines of work and gender equality policies.

This year, the central moment of the event will be the recognition of the career and contributions of lecturer Maria Prats Ferret, former director of the Observatory for Equality (now the Equality and Diversity Service) and member of the Geography and Gender Research Group (UAB), for sustained work aimed at consolidating the feminist perspective in geography and promoting gender transversality within the discipline, with a significant impact on both research and teaching.
