The fifteenth International Seminar against Gender Violence organised by the Isonomia Foundation of the Universitat Jaume I has begun in the Faculty of Health Sciences with the awarding of the 15 Isonomia Prize against Gender Violence to Dr. Carme Valls Llobet, for her research work on gender differences in the field of health and her activism to facilitate access to resources for women in order to improve their living conditions.

The rector Eva Alcón thanked her for "her tireless activism in favour of women through science, politics and her social commitment. Thank you very much for putting so much light where there was only darkness", and encouraged the participants in the seminar to "follow the example of our beloved Carme, who has opened the way for us to build a science free of prejudices (biases) and gender stereotypes".

For more than 20 years, Dr. Valls has directed the programme "Women, health and quality of life" at the Centre for Analysis and Health Programmes (CAPS) in Catalonia and has taught several master's and postgraduate courses. She has been a pioneer in raising awareness in the field of medical research on the differences in mortality and morbidity between women and men and has promoted the inclusion of women in clinical trials.

Dr. Valls Llobet was also in charge of giving the inaugural lecture of the international seminar entitled "Invisible violence against women's health" in which she made an exhaustive list of the different types of violence against women in the health field, insisting, especially among the students of these disciplines, on the need to identify attitudes and situations of violence in order to try to eradicate them from medical practice.

She has explained that not looking at the patient when she speaks, not carrying out a physical examination, not attending to her questions or minimising her symptoms are a type of health micro-violence that together with the lack of availability to listen to the patient or not allowing a reasonable time for her to choose the therapeutic option that most interests her form part of a structural violence, which is difficult to recognise because it is very socially assumed because it is carried out in a subtle way.

Valls Llobet has assured that it is necessary to give visibility to the situation and to promote training in these aspects for health professionals so that what is established in article 27 of the Gender Equality Law, which deals with the integration of the principle of equality in health policy, can be fulfilled.

During the inauguration, the rector Eva Alcón indicated that "we have many examples of the control that has been exercised and is exercised over the body of women. Normalized and too often socially accepted mechanisms of domination that continue to be perpetuated through such everyday activities as play, advertising, music, fashion, sport... but also science and, specifically, medical science". That is why "these days will serve because, through the exchange of experiences, incorporate the gender perspective, promote effective equality between men and women and prevent violence against women in the field of health".

The International Seminar against Gender Violence: Bodies, Women and Violence that will take place on November 6 and 7 is a space for training, updating and exchange of experiences to promote the adoption of practices that ensure a gender perspective, the promotion of effective equality and the prevention of violence against women in the media.
