Rubiales Affair
The Rubiales affair ( es, Caso Rubiales, links=no) refers to the fallout, both social and sporting, caused by the conduct of Luis Rubiales, the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), beginning in August 2023. Having acted inappropriately during the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup final on 20 August 2023, Rubiales' response to the criticism of his conduct was deemed to become worse in the days following the tournament, and to have exacerbated the controversy. After an erratic speech he made on 25 August 2023, the entire Spain women's national football team withdrew from selection and several RFEF staff resigned; Rubiales was soon suspended from all football by FIFA. There were widespread calls for Rubiales' resignation and structural change in the RFEF, paired with support for Jenni Hermoso – the player he had forcibly kissed on the lips at the final, and whom the RFEF were seen as harassing afterwards – in Spain and from women's football teams around the world. ...

Women In Francoist Spain
Women in Francoist Spain (1939–1978) were the last generation of women to not be afforded full equality under the 1978 Spanish Constitution. Women during this period found traditional Catholic Spanish gender roles being imposed on them, in terms of their employment opportunities and role in the family. For Republican women, Francoist Spain was a double loss, as the new regime first took away the limited political power and identities as women which they had won during the Second Spanish Republic (1931–1939), and it secondly forced them back into the confines of their homes. Motherhood would become the primary social function of women in Francoist Spain. Feminism in Spain would be co-opted by the regime, encouraging not liberation, but instead the engagement of pious domesticity. The Castilian Association of Homemakers and Consumers was unique in this period, for trying to co-opt the regime to support women's liberation from the inside. Some women in the Communist Party of Spai ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ley Del Solo Sí Es Sí
The ''ley del solo sí es sí'' ( "Only yes is yes law"), in full the ''Ley Orgánica 10/2022, de 6 de septiembre, de garantía integral de la libertad sexual'' is a Spanish law approved by the Cortes Generales on 25 August 2022. It is also known as the ''ley Montero'' for its promotion by Minister of Equality Irene Montero. The law requires for a defendant to prove sexual consent was given, eliminated the offence of ''abuso sexual'' and merged it with ''agresión sexual'' (sexual assault), a charge that previously required proof of violence or intimidation. The minimum sentence was reduced from eight years to six, which could be applied retroactively due to Spanish law. This led to over 900 offenders having their sentence cut and over 100 being freed before the law was amended in April 2023. Pedro Sánchez, the prime minister of Spain, apologised for the loophole and called it his government's "biggest mistake". The United Nations special rapporteur on violence against women and ...

Las 15
The Spain women's national football team has been involved in public disputes, primarily when its players have advocated for improvements and spoken against the national federation (RFEF). For most of its history, the team has had few, long-serving, managers, with the culture of the team under their instruction criticised. On four occasions members of the team have called for institutional change in the conditions of the national team: first in 1996, once after placing bottom of their group at the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2015, again in 2022, and the latest in 2023 immediately after winning the World Cup. Lola Gallardo and Sandra Paños were the only players signatory to each dispute between 2015 and 2023, with Alexia Putellas, Irene Paredes and Jennifer Hermoso also significantly involved. Gallardo and Paños were considered retired by the RFEF after the third dispute. The unsettled tensions came to a head when Spain won the 2023 World Cup. During the medal presentation a ...
