Library and equality
The Library has a Social Responsibility Policy where support and promotion of equal opportunities without gender distinction is included, the promotion of the fight against gender violence, as well as the commitment to the promotion of equality between the sexes by fostering actions aimed at this goal and including the gender perspective in daily activity.
The Library's Social Responsibility Committee is working on goal 5 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)Achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls.
In 2022 the Library joined the network of Canary Islands Libraries for Equality.
The Library has created several committees that work on equality:
- Social Responsibility Commission
- Equality Commission (made up of representatives from the Library, from the Gender Equality Unit, of the University Institute for Women's Studies and students).
The Education Library and the General and Humanities Library have specialized collections in feminism and gender studies, as well as popular science books. They also serve as spaces for debate, exhibitions, book presentations, and workshops. Click on the links below for more information.
