For yet another year, the Catalan Institute of Classical Archeology (ICAC) joins the awareness campaign for Working Women’s Day on March 8.
International Women’s Day or Working Women’s Day is celebrated on March 8 of each year and is recognized by the United Nations (UN). It is a day traditionally used to claim feminism by denouncing sexism. This day commemorates the struggle of women for their participation, along with men, in the workplace and, therefore, for the right to economic independence (Viquipèdia).
From the ICAC we adhere to the 8M Manifesto of the Department of Equality and Feminisms of the Generalitat de Catalunya.
We are not born feminists; we could say, adapting the iconic phrase of Simone de Beauvoir, that we became it.
On the other hand, at the initiative of the ICAC Equality Committee, next Wednesday, March 15 at 1:00 p.m., we will hold an informative talk on archaeology of women, by Dr Marga Sánchez (University of Granada), member of the Past Women project.

The ICAC’s commitment to equality between women and men is reflected in its I Equality Plan, the creation of the Committee dedicated to ensuring real and effective gender equality in all areas of the Institute and the constitution of the Negotiating Commission for the Carrying out a qualitative and quantitative diagnosis internally.
We continue working on equality and this 8M we want to celebrate it by presenting the “Inclusive and non-sexist communication guide” created by the Institute of Marine Sciences, to which we have formally adhered, and which is part of the application of the planned measures in the II Equality Plan (2023-2026).

Finally, today, March 8, we share the list of videos resulting from the awareness campaign that we started on 11F and that helps us spread the message that the fight for equality and the visibility of women in science is a commitment to keep in mind throughout the year.
With the #LesNostresReferents campaign, the ICAC Communication Service has produced fifteen videos starring members of the Institute in which they present pioneering archaeologists and benchmarks for their scientific contributions. The campaign has been a success and has been very well received on social networks (Twitter and Instagram).
Watch the videos of the #LesNostresReferents campaign on the ICAC Youtube channel. Help us spread the word!
