Today is 8 March, and on the occasion of International Women's Day, the Basque Government has issued an institutional declaration calling for the allocation of the space it deserves for equality. The message joins the campaign promoted by all the Basque institutions for the 8M and reaffirms the commitment of the Basque Government to policies for the equality of women and men.

The Government has warned that " speeches that we thought were outdated are reviving and a reaction from the ultra-right is taking place, denying inequalitybetween women and men, banishing violence against women and disregarding feminism and equality policies ". 

According to the Government headed by Pradales, "there is a real effort to tighten the path to equality." To this end, the Government has called for further enhancing equality in all areas : implementing equality plans in enterprises and moving towards equal pay, educating in classrooms without gender limiting roles through coeducation, sharing domestic work and care in a balanced manner, denouncing false speeches that generate hatred and misinformation, advocating for a society free from violence against women, and incorporating the gender perspective into every political action and decision.

Indeed, he has argued, "progress in equality implies progress in rights, freedom, well-being, respect and equal opportunities for all people."

It therefore encourages all citizens to express their commitment to equality publicly and actively on a daily basis, and in particular on 8 March, International Women's Day.
