Next Monday, April 1 at 8:00 pm at the Josefina Soria Library of the Ramón Alonso Luzzy Cultural Center will be held the anthropologist Manuel Delgado's conference under the title "Women of the street, gender and public space" and is included in the Cartagena Think .

The talk, initially scheduled for this Wednesday, March 20, has the collaboration of the Department of Equality of the City of Cartagena and will deal with how the street can not fully oppose its egalitarian vocation to the flagrant asymmetries that women have to suffer in the labor market, in the home, in the distribution of justice, in political hierarchies or in the educational system.

The spatial segregations that derive from class, age or ethnic inequality will always affect women in the lower group as opposed to their men, so it is true that public space is not equal for everyone, but is less equal still for them.
