The Xunta de Galicia advocates in Mondariz Balneario for greater involvement of women in policies that promote entrepreneurship and social economy. The Director General of Autonomous Work and Social Economy, Marta Vázquez Guzmán, accompanied by the Director General of Equality Promotion, Eloína Ingerto, participated in the second edition of the #MulleresQueContan forum.
In her speech, Vázquez Guzmán highlighted the importance of generating business activity that centers on people rather than just economic profitability. She noted that around 60% of individuals assisted by the Entrepreneurship Hubs Network are women, demonstrating their potential to boost Galicia's productive sector.
She also referred to regional initiatives such as the Medrando Xuntas program, aimed at fostering female leadership in Galicia's social economy. The forum also addressed topics like thermalism and labor market challenges, including the presence of women in male-dominated sectors.
