* [![Dia Internacional de les Dones dia-dones dona1](/com/noticies/2018/03/1q/dia-dones/dona1.jpg)](#)

The Universitat Jaume I, on the occasion of the celebration on 8 March of International Women's Day, hold a ceremony that began with a poetic performance by the actresses Núria Vizcarro and Laia Porcar and the music of M. José Pascual. Next, the vice-rector for Strategic Planning, Quality and Equality, M. José Oltra, recalled all the activities organised this year by the UJI on the occasion of International Women's Day and encouraged the university community to participate in these and other similar initiatives.

To conclude, the rector of the UJI, Vicent Climent, has read the manifesto of the Conference of Rectors of Spanish Universities (CRUE), an association that brings together 76 public and private universities in Spain.

In the manifesto, universities make public their social commitment with the need to continue working for equal treatment and opportunities between women and men in the university community. "We wish to express our full commitment to eliminate all obstacles that still prevent achieving real and effective gender equality in the university, achieving a balanced representation of women and men in the various governing bodies and achieving greater visibility of women’s contributions to science. We also wish to reaffirm our commitment to the eradication of any form of gender violence and the need to continue advancing in the harmonisation of work and family life. Universities should be promoters of social justice and integrate gender perspective transversally in all areas of management, teaching and research", it has been pointed out.

**EUROPEAN INITIATIVE**

In addition, the CRUE has joined an initiative promoted by the European Parliament Office in Spain to promote gender equality in all types of events and public debates. By signing a protocol of intentions, the institutions involved commit to increasing the participation of women in conferences, seminars or communication activities and to carry out an annual audit that measures the actual percentage of experts, with the aim of improving these figures every year. According to the latest EU Panel Watch data, women represented only 33% of the experts invited to the debates, conferences and public seminars organized in Brussels during 2016.

The signatory entities will also promote an institutional campaign on their web pages and social networks with the hashtag #DóndeEstánEllas. The manifesto underscored that Wthe fight for gender equality is an urgent challenge that requires concrete and proactive measures that favour equal opportunities for men and women”. Although the Treaty of Rome and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU enshrined equality between men and women as one of the founding principles of the European Union, the wage gap remains a reality (women earn 16.3% less than men). In addition, women continue to run into a glass ceiling when it comes to achieving management and leadership positions.
