The European Women’s Lobby in Spain (LEM Spain) is a non-profit platform of women’s associations, established in July 2016.
Its objective is to promote the empowerment of women in all their diversity, to advance gender equality, to combat all forms of discrimination and violence against women, and to guarantee their full access to all their rights, not only legal but also real in society, employment, business, in the choice of their sexuality and in the free choice of motherhood through active participation in society and in the development and implementation of public policies.
Consequently, the aim of LEM Spain is to coordinate women’s NGOs in Spain to promote and develop their equal rights and opportunities within the framework of a united and democratic Europe, influencing national and EU policies, monitoring the implementation and application of both EU and national legislation that eliminates any discrimination on the basis of sex. In this sense, its objectives and aims are in line with those of the European Women’s Lobby (EWL).
