Sponsored by the Women’s and Gender Studies Program, the Gender+ Justice Initiative, The McCourt School of Public Policy, Women in Public Policy Initiative, the Women’s Center, the LGBTQ Resource Center, and the Disability Cultural Center. The panel will focus on Mestre’s work in Catalonia to center intersectionally marginalized groups at the center of the policy-making process. Due to the unique nature of the Ministry of Equality and Feminism, this event will highlight the importance of mainstreaming policies that are often seen as particularized. Specifically, Mestre will discuss her work on policies that will address LBTQ policies, sexual and reproductive rights, environmental impact, and menstrual justice.
