Gender gap in Spain - statistics & facts
The fight for women’s rights in Spain has been a decades-long process. Since Marie Gouze’s “Declaration of the Rights of Woman and of the Female Citizen” in 1791, many women, and many men, have fought to dismantle outdated gender roles. One of the major steps was women’s suffrage, which was introduced for the first time in Spain in the Constitution of 1931 during the Second Republic, with the help of Clara Campoamor.
