The President of the Andalusian Government, Juanma Moreno, participated in Granada in the ‘The Carpet of Culture and Female Leadership’ event, organized by the digital newspaper El Español. He emphasized the goal of continuing to move towards a society of equals, while stating that the leadership and talent of women are essential in any society because «without them, there is no progress.»
Moreno pointed out that gender equality is not just a matter for the government, but for a committed society. He urged everyone to contribute their «grain of sand» to help create a society with greater progress and well-being, where everyone can project their talent and leadership equally.
«Andalusia will never be a leader without women. Let’s all work together to make a land that leads in equality, freedom, progress, employment, well-being, in service to Andalusia and Spain,» he added.
He emphasized that in Andalusia, efforts are made to provide the means, remove obstacles, and maintain policies that help talent to stand out in different fields, always under equal conditions for men and women.
This new reality in Andalusia is written in feminine form, as reflected in the data. More than 40% of the research personnel in the Andalusian community are women, their presence in R&D has increased by 30.4% in four years in Andalusia, and the 7,963 researchers in Andalusia represent 40.2% of the total research personnel, above the national average.
