Summer is for everyone!”
Antonia Morillas, head of the Spanish women’s institute and the organisation behind the initiative, said physical expectations affected women’s self-esteem and denied them their rights. “Diverse bodies, free of gender stereotypes, occupying all spaces. Summer also belongs to us. Free, equal and diverse,” sheThe women’s institute said: “Today we toast a summer for all, without stereotypes and aesthetic violence against our bodies.”
