The panel discussion will start at 6:30 p.m.: Digital environment as a place for new sexist violence, moderated by journalist Emilia Bolinches and with the participation of judge Lucía Avilés, journalist Ana Bernal-Triviño and Ianire Estébanez, psychologist and psychotherapist. 

Ana Bernal-Triviño. Doctor and graduate in Journalism and holder of a Master’s Degree in History of Art by the UMA (University of Málaga), she’s a teacher and researcher at the Open University of Catalonia (UOC), journalist and columnist at Público, El Periódico and collaborator in Las Mañanas de la 1 at TVE. 

Her interest in always knowing ways of communicating closer to society has resulted in her researches as a doctor to be focused on the use of social networks, mobile journalism and ethics. As journalist, she focused on the defence of human rights, particularly on women’s.

Thanks to her media articles such as La Marea, El Español or SModa , she’s been recognised as one of the journalists who contributed to the feminist revolution the most. In 2017 she presented a report on the media treatment for the Juana Rivas case at the Congress of Deputies. Thanks to all her work in favour of human rights and the defence of women’s rights, she received awards such as Premio Solidaritat from Catalonia’s Institute of Human Rights, Premio La Buena Prensa, Premio de la Comunicación No Sexista from Catalonia’s Women Journalists Association, Premio Caleta from the Sub-delegation of the Government of Malaga and Premio Farola from the Andalusian Women’s Institute. She will be receiving the Premio Emilio Castelar on October 2^nd. She also contributed to groundwork on Women’s rights for Catalonia’s Human Rights Plan. She wrote on how to inform oneself and others about sexist violence and, more recently, a defence against sexist hoaxes (Espasa): No Manipuléis el Feminismo.

Lucía Avilés is a Magistrate Judge for the Court of First Instance number 3 in Arenys de Mar and co-founder of the Spanish section for International Women Judges, an association dedicated to make progress on human rights and justice equity between people of different gender.

Avilés is also an associate criminal law professor of the Open University of Catalunya and honorary member of the Gender Studies Institute of the Argentine Institute of Constitutional Justice located in Buenos Aires.

She founded and is part of the Association of Women Judges, which pretends to “contribute to the development and dissemination of Justice and Equality through general awareness among citizens and among both female and specially male judges on the imperative need to defend human rights”.

When the association was founded on November of 2015, the founding associates approved the associative “road map”, the so-called “12 Steps of Justice towards Equality”, one for each founding associate. They are twelve antidiscriminative proposals from which we started developing our associative activity.

Ianire Estébanez has been a blogger for “Mi novio me controla… lo normal“, in a time where internet’s content on violence and feminisms were almost non-existent (2007). She did it after one of the first researches approached psychologic violence in a relationship from the feminist point of view, having later researched on sexual aggressions towards young people in leisure spaces and sexism in social networks. That’s the reason why she was considered the pioneer in prevention work and she worked hard in the last decade by training young people, professionals, teachers and families; by giving lectures, workshops and holding conferences, largely covering a great distance in all the Spanish territory.

She’s a psychologist and a psychotherapist.
