Valls launches a much-needed commemoration: the International Day of Action for Women’s Health, with a series of talks that no one should ignore. The occasion focuses on women’s health, a topic that is often sidelined.

The initiative kicks off in May 2026 and is open to all citizens, according to the Valls City Council. The talks aim to provide relevant and updated information on this subject, a step that arrives late but is already welcome.

The series of talks on women’s health

Main objective and themes

The series organized by the Valls City Council aims to inform and raise awareness among the population about women’s health in all its dimensions.

Open to everyone and with local participation

The event is public and free, designed to reach both women and men interested. This makes it possible for the discussion about women’s health to cease being exclusively a matter for the health sector or women, becoming a community issue.

Context and importance of women’s health

An unfinished business in public health

Women’s health has often been underestimated in many areas, from research to medical care.

The International Day, an opportunity to progress

The International Day of Action for Women’s Health serves to put these needs on the table and promote policies and practices that improve women’s quality of life. Valls thus joins a movement that continues to grow worldwide.

Reactions and expectations in Valls

Public response

Despite being the first edition, the series has been well received. The public shows interest in participating and learning more about the topics covered, which evidences a real need for spaces for information and debate.

Future plans and event consolidation

The intention is that this is not just a one-time event, but a continued commitment to women’s health.

Valls has decided to get moving in a field where, until now, inaction was the norm. Perhaps now something will really change.
