The manifest, which can be consulted by clicking here, was drawn by RUIGEU, the Network of Gender Equality Unities of Spanish Universities for University Excellence and which is currently coordinated by the Universitat de València. The text is focused on universities' commitment to fulfil the principle of equality and to eradicate violence against women. 

Next, the video #blockalmasclisme was watched. It was launched last October by the Universitat de València to denounce disrespectful relationships between men and women in digital environments.

Ianire Estébanez is a psychologist and a therapist. She was the author of the blog «My boyfriend controls me... It's normal», at a time when internet contents on violence and feminisms barely existed (2007). The blog was the result of one of the first research that tried to understand psychological violence during engagement from a feminist point of view. Then, the research focused on sexual assaults against young women in leisure areas and on sexism on social networks. She has been considered pioneer on preventive work and over the last ten years she has worked hard to educate young people, professionals, teaching staff, families..., by giving talks, workshops and lectures all over Spain.
