The rector of the UJI and delegate of the Crue Presidency for Equality Policies, Eva Alcón, has assured that "committed actions are urgently needed" to avoid setbacks in women's rights due to the impact of the pandemic and to advance towards effective gender equality within the framework of the 2030 Agenda. Alcón made this proposal at the seminar "Gender equality in the framework of international law: building back better", organised by the New York office of the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR). The opening session was attended by more than 200 people, mainly diplomats and social leaders, from all five continents.

Alcón shared the lecture with Melanne Verveer, current Executive Director of the Institute for Women, Peace and Security at Georgetown University and former US Ambassador for Global Women's Issues under President Barack Obama. The moderators were the vice-rector of the University of Pennsylvania Rangita de Silva de Alwis, a renowned international expert on women's rights, and UJI lecturer Paloma Durán, former director of the SDG Fund.
