Act 5/2008, of 24 April, on the right of the women to eliminate gender violence, a pioneer act, the result of participation from feminist organisations and political parties and the construction of consensuses.

The fundamental right of equality between women and men represents a major value for democracy and is an essential requirement in a modern democratic society that aims to eradicate the androcentric and sexist patriarchal system. All that is required for this right to be met is its legal recognition and its effective exercise, through the involvement of every aspect of life in it: political, economic, social and cultural.

See the Act
