The evolution of equality legislation was the focus of the second day of the course “The mothers of the Spanish Constitution: building democracy", organised by Universitat Jaume I and opened by former Vice-President and current President of the Council of State, Carmen Calvo. Calvo emphasised that “legal feminism is building and developing democracy and the constitutional model”, highlighting that political and social progress depends on legal advances. She also warned of the slow transformation of historically patriarchal spaces and stressed the need for a new social structure to negotiate personal and labour relations, with equality as a guiding principle in the forthcoming 2028 constitutional reform.

The session included a roundtable moderated by Ana Marrades Puig, featuring experts discussing key equality laws such as those against gender violence, effective equality between women and men, and balanced representation. Participants agreed more progress is needed; concerns were raised about the quality of legislation, corporate attitudes seeing equality as symbolic, and the dangers of denying gender-based violence. The event was closed by the course coordinators alongside the university’s vice-rectors for Culture and Social Responsibility.
