The 73rd edition of the Summer Courses of the University of Cadiz has begun with four seminars in the Constitution 1812 Building of the Cadiz Campus dedicated to topics such as mental health, global security, sexual violence and the duality of cultural objects. The rector of the UCA, Francisco Piniella, and the vice-rector for Culture, Jacinto Porro, welcomed the more than 550 people enrolled in the courses during the introductory lecture of the seminar titled When sexual violence becomes an everyday occurrence, given by the Spanish Secretary of State for Equality and Against Gender Violence, Ángela Rodríguez. In it, she assured that “there are some aspects that are worth analysing in a university classroom with an objective nature in order to know how we can continue to improve as a society and continue to defend women’s rights”.

This course, coordinated by Francisca Fuentes, professor of Labour and Social Security Law at the UCA, and Teresa Agudo, vice-president of the Asociación Páginas Violetas, aims to debate situations experienced in everyday life, at work and in the media, the social and institutional response, the invisibility of cases and the tools for prevention.
