Ambassador Aparici highlighted the progress women have made in Spain thanks to the efforts of many women and to public policies that promote equality. Ambassador also emphasized the role of Spanish women in the United Kingdom and their "decisive contribution" to British society.
Juan Carlos Machuca, President of the Chamber of Commerce, stressed that equality "is not just a women's issue, but a matter for society as a whole." Raquel Barrera, a board member, presented the Chamber's work on equality, diversity, and inclusion, stating that "when women thrive, we all thrive."
Finally, Dr. Isabel Quiroga, Co-director of the national uterus transplant programme and the surgeon responsible for the first birth in the United Kingdom of a baby conceived in a transplanted uterus, shared her personal and professional experience as an example of how no barrier should be put in the way of achieving one's dreams. Quiroga emphasized that, thanks to uterus transplants, women have the freedom to choose whether they wish to become mothers. She also highlighted the work of her team, in which “everyone has the same ambition, the same ability, and there are no gender barriers.”
