Table of Contents

In Seville, the reality of being a woman intertwines with a vibrant culture and a commitment to female empowerment, reflecting both the beauty and challenges of the local and global feminist movement. Spanish Studies Abroad (SSA) acknowledges these complexities and is dedicated to providing a supportive and enlightening environment for all students.

Understanding Local and Global Feminist Movements

Seville is a city where the rich history of women’s rights activism and contemporary feminist movements coalesce. As part of our orientation guide, we delve into the main Spanish feminist organizations and the significant strides Spain has made in gender equality, ranking among the top 10 globally. However, we also confront the harsh realities women may face, from catcalling to more severe forms of harassment, and provide comprehensive guidance on handling these situations.

Empowerment through Education and Awareness

SSA is committed to educating and empowering our female students by providing them with resources and knowledge to navigate both the inspiring and challenging aspects of being a woman in Seville. Our materials include an official action guide against sexist violence, insights into Spain’s progressive gender laws, and practical advice for personal safety.

Celebrating Women’s Achievements and Solidarity

We celebrate International Women’s Day with enthusiasm, sharing materials that affirm the value and strength of women. Our students participate in marches and events, joining the local community in advocating for equality and against patriarchal violence. This participation is not only an act of solidarity but also a powerful learning experience, connecting students with the global feminist movement.

Resources and Support for Female Students

SSA provides a comprehensive array of resources, from academic materials highlighting feminist literature and movements to practical advice on navigating nightlife safely. We emphasize the importance of understanding cultural differences, offer strategies for dealing with unwanted attention, and provide information on local “Puntos Violetas” for support against sexist aggression.

By choosing Seville with SSA, female students step into a city that embraces them with its warmth and challenges them to grow, learn, and contribute to the ongoing dialogue around women’s rights and empowerment.
