According to the organizers, if there is a field in which feminization is validated, it is in the Health Services area. On the one hand, three quarters of workers in this field are women. On the other hand, the percentage of female employees in the Spanish labour market ranges 40 percent.  Even though this and other data show evidence of the feminization of the healthcare services, working conditions and responsibilities vary in this field depending on the genre. It is proven with two facts: the salaries and the presence of women in the directive boards. The award wants to put an end to this situation.

Pilar Barreto is the Vice-president of the Valencian Society of Palliative Medicine, too.  She received the Prize from Rosa Mª Redondo, the Vice-secretary of the Consejo General de la Psicología, and Mercedes Otero, the manager of the Sociedad Española de Médicos Generales y de Familia.
