The C.V. MARQ Foundation joins in the celebration of International Women's Day 2025 with a programme of activities, which places women in the spotlight from a historical perspective.

This year's theme "For women and girls in ALL their diversity: Rights, equality and empowerment". represents a call to all of society to expand equal rights and opportunities for all, building a feminist future in which no one is left behind. Empowering the next generation is at the heart of the 2025 theme: youth, especially girls, adolescent girls and young women, will be at the centre of lasting change.

Visitors to MARQ will be able to learn about the role played by women throughout history, by means of a Interactive QR with questions that will take them through the different rooms of the Museum's permanent collection, focusing on women. In addition, the Didactics, Accessibility, Club Llumiq and Social Responsibility Unit of the C.V. MARQ Foundation has designed a complete Programme of Activities with the following calendar:
