Neither the concept of “feminism” nor that of “gender violence”, two realities that shake today’s society and that point to inequality between men and women, are in the government program that the Popular Party and Vox have published this Thursday.

In Spain, 10% of women perform care work, compared to 5% of male caregivers.
